Abstrakt: As a novel substrate with a lattice‐mismatch of only 0.8% along the a‐axis to InN thin films, we propose LaBGeO5(LBGO) with a trigonal symmetry for the first time. A single crystal growth of LBGO by Czochralski (Cz)‐pulling was investigated, and c‐axis‐oriented LBGO single crystals with high crystallinity were successfully grown with a pulling rate of 0.5 mm/h in O2‐atomosphere. c‐axis oriented InN film was subsequently grown on the obtained LBGO {001} substrate by metalorganic vapor epitaxy (MOVPE), and it was verified that InN film on LBGO was less‐strained as compared with that on {001} sapphire substrate. It is stressed to say that LBGO can be expected as a lattice‐matching substrate for the epitaxialgrowth of InN.
