Despite the remarkable optoelectronic properties of halide perovskites, achieving reproducible field effect transistor (FET) action in polycrystalline films at room temperature has been challenging and represents a fundamental bottleneck for understanding electronic charge transport in these materials. In this work, we report halide perovskite-based FET operation at room temperature with negligible hysteresis. Extensive measurements and device modeling reveal that incorporating high-k dielectrics enables modulation of the channel conductance. Furthermore, continuous bias cycling or resting allows dynamical reconfiguration of the FETs between p-type behavior and ambipolar FET with balanced electron and hole transport and an ON/OFF ratio up to 10 4 and negligible degradation in transport characteristics over 100 cycles. These results elucidate the path for achieving gate modulation in perovskite thin films and provide a platform to understand the interplay between the perovskite structure and external stimuli such as photons, fields, and functional substrates, which will lead to novel and emergent properties.
