We have grown indium nitride (InN) films using In buffer layer on an a-plane sapphire substrate under atmospheric pressure by halide CVD (AP-HCVD). Growth was carried out by two steps: deposition In buffer layer at 900 °C and subsequent growth of InN layer at 650 °C. In order to compare, we also grown InN films on an a-plane sapphire. The InN films are investigated on crystal quality, surface morphology and electrical property using high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HR-XRD), X-ray pole figure,scanning electron microscope (SEM), Hall measurement. The results show that the crystal quality, surface morphology and electrical property of InN films are improved by using In buffer layer.
