Conducting polymers (CPs) combine electronic conductivity, optical transparency, and mechanical flexibility compatible with lightweight substrates. Due to these features CPs exhibit promising performance for a wide range of applications including electronic, optoelectronic, electrochemical, optochemical, and energy storage and harvesting devices. Fabrication of high-quality CPs thin film in a large scale is of high demand in multiple industrial sectors. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a promising approach for scale-up and commercialization of CPs in large-scale thin film applications by a roll-to-roll process. The CVD technique is a versatile deposition technique for fabricating CPs due to its unique combination of characteristics, including formation of conformal coatings, processing at low temperatures, solvent-free synthesis, uniformity of growth, mechanical flexible films, industrial scale-up, and substrate-independence. This review focuses primarily on the oxidative CVD technique for the fabrication of CPs and related conjugated polymers by emphasizing on their applications in devices.
