To date the epitaxial growth of high quality InN is still a challenge. Investigations of structural properties require an exact understanding of a re-producible growth mechanism of the used fabrication method.
Epitaxial InN has been grown on c-plane sapphire by means of MOMBE. Herby the metalorganic vapour fluxes have been adjusted by pressure control applying a MFC calibration with nitrogen. A comparison was made between InN layers grown on templates with a thicker GaN buffer layer (grown by MOVPE) and InN grown directly onto pre-nucleated substrate. The latter method was split into the usage of GaN or InN as nucleation seeds. GaN buffer layer quality sets limitations if the InN is grown on top by an in-situ method. The optimisation of the seeding buffer layer is reported. The most crucial growth parameters found, are substrate temperature and the III/V flux ratio.
Studies by RHEED, HRXRD, AFM, SEM and PL evaluated the morphological and optical properties of the as-grown InN. The without templates grown InN was hexagonal and dominantly N-polar. Electrical measurements revealed high electron mobility.
