Abstract Current state‐of‐the‐art organic photovoltaic (OPV) films, composed of conjugated polymer donors and small molecule acceptors, are often limited by the high brittleness their rigid backbones, which restricts application in wearable devices. In contrast, all‐polymer OPVs have demonstrated enhanced intrinsic stretchability, but further advancements necessary to meet demands. Here, an uncharted strategy is reported enhance mechanical stretchability performance incorporating a nearly‐amorphous polymer, poly(indacenodithiophene‐co‐benzothiadiazole) (IDTBT) into layer‐by‐layer structured active layer. IDTBT possesses fracture strain ≈80%, significantly outperforming well‐known donor polymers like PM6. The incorporation enhances properties, with both optimized at low contents. More importantly, intrinsically stretchable demonstrate superior stability impressive power conversion efficiency 14.2%, highest date this category. Particularly, IDTBT‐strengthened retain 72% initial under tensile 50%, 68% even after being stretched hundreds times 30% strain, demonstrating exceptional stability. This approach underscores potential semiconductors designing highly OPVs, paving way for seamless integration electronics.
