Abstract

The III-V nitride semiconductor InN thin films which have the direct bandgap in visible light wavelength region have been deposited on Si(100) substrates and AIN/Si(100) substrates by rf reactive sputtering. InN thin films have been investigated on the structural, and electrical properties according to the sputtering parameters such as total pressure, rf power, and substrate temperature. It is found that optimal conditions required for fabricating InN thin films with high crystal Quality, low carrier concentration, high Hall mobility are total pressure 5mTorr, rf power 60W, substrate temperature 6$0^{\circ}C$ . InN thin films deposited on the AIN(60min.)/Si(100) substrates arid AIN(120min.)/Si(100) substrates showed remarkably high crystal quality and electrical properties. It is known that AIN buffer layer is to decrease free energy at interface between InN film and Si substrate, and then promoting lateral growth of InN films.
