Aligned films of a semiconducting DPP‐based copolymer exhibit highly anisotropic charge transport with a band‐like temperature dependence along the alignment direction and hole mobilities of up to 6.7 cm 2 V −1 s −1 . X‐ray diffraction measurements reveal an exceptional degree of in‐plane alignment, high crystallinity, and a dominant face‐on orientation of the polymer backbones. The surprising charge‐transport properties are interpreted in a tie‐chain model consistent with anisotropic activation energies.
