Self-healing materials play an essential role in the field of organic electronics with numerous stunning applications such as novel integrated and wearable devices. With the development of stretchable, printable, and implantable electronics, organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with a self-healable capability are becoming increasingly important both academically and industrially. However, the related research work is still in the initial stage due to the challenges in developing robust self-healing electronic materials with both electronic and mechanical properties. In this mini-review, we have summarized the recent research progress in self-healing materials used in OFETs from conductor, semiconductor, and insulator materials. Moreover, the relationship between the material design and device performance for self-healing properties is also further discussed. Finally, the primary challenges and outlook in this field are introduced. We believe that the review will shed light on the development of self-healing electronic materials for application in OFETs.
