الوصف: Ultra-thin (UT) oxide semiconductors are promising candidates for back-end-of-line (BEOL) compatible transistors and monolithic three-dimensional integration. Experimentally, UT indium oxide (In$_2$O$_3$) field-effect transistors (FETs) with thicknesses down to 0.4 nm exhibits extremely high drain current (10000 $\mu$A/$\mu$m) and transconductance (4000 $\mu$S/$\mu$m). Here, we employ the ab initio quantum transport simulation to investigate the performance limit of sub-5-nm gate length (Lg) UT In$_2$O$_3$ FET. Based on the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) criteria for high-performance (HP) devices, the scaling limit of UT In$_2$O$_3$ FETs can reach 2 nm in terms of on-state current, delay time, and power dissipation. The wide bandgap nature of UT In$_2$O$_3$ (3.15 eV) renders it a suitable candidate for ITRS low-power (LP) electronics with Lg down to 3 nm. Both the HP and LP UT In$_2$O$_3$ FETs exhibit superior energy-delay products as compared to other common 2D semiconductors such as monolayer MoS2 and MoTe2. Our study unveils the immense promise of UT In$_2$O$_3$ for both HP and LP device applications.
