In this work, we demonstrate a flexible-substrate-based strategy for applying uniaxial tensile strain to indium oxide field-effect transistors (In<sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub>O<sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> FETs) and verify that strain can effectively enhance the mobility of crystalline In<sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub>O<sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> FETs.

Our investigation introduces strain-induced mobility enhancement into oxide semiconductors (OS) FETs, providing a practical approach to further improving the performance of OS FETs.
