However, due to their background hole doping, these perovskites are not suitable for n-type transistors. Ambipolar lead halide perovskites are potential candidates, but their defective nature limits electron mobilities to around 3-4 cm2 V-1 s-1, which makes the development all-perovskite logical circuits challenging. Here, we report formamidinium lead iodide perovskite n-type transistors with field-effect mobilities of up to 33 cm2 V-1s-1 measured in continuous bias mode. This is achieved through strain relaxation of the perovskite lattice using a methyl ammonium chloride additive, followed by suppression of undercoordinated lead through tetramethyl ammonium fluoride multidentate anchoring. Our approach stabilizes the alpha phase, balances strain, and improves surface morphology, crystallinity, and orientation. It also enables low-defect perovskite–dielectric interfaces. We use 46 the transistors to fabricate unipolar inverters and eleven-stage ring oscillator
