Popis: Highly oriented nanocrystalline indium nitride (InN) films were successfully grown on Si(111) substrate. The growth rate of InN film can be enhanced fourfold by a double-zone metal organic chemical vapor deposition system consisting of a high temperature NH3 pre-cracking zone and a low temperature deposition zone. A maximum growth rate of 6 μm/h was achieved due to the high cracking efficiency of NH3. Meanwhile, the growth temperature of the substrate can be varied from 350 to 600 °C, which provides more flexibility for the film structure. While X-ray diffraction revealed the (0001) texture of the film, the high-resolution transmission electron microscopy study concluded the growth of highly oriented nanocrystalline hexagonal InN, which may lead to potential solar cell and optoelectronic applications.
