Abstract
We studied optimal sapphire nitridation conditions with ammonia for the metalβorganic vapor phase epitaxy of InN using inβsitu spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE). SE indicates the formation of a complete AlNβcontaining layer on top of the sapphire surface during the first 45 s of nitridation. Further nitridation leads to a growth of the AlNβlike layer by nitrogen diffusion and to roughening. Successively, a set of high quality InN films were grown onto sapphire substrates after different nitridation duration. Electronic characterisation clearly indicates optimum InN quality for 45 s of sapphire nitridation, i.e. when only the sapphire surface is nitridated, as determined by inβsitu SE.

## Abstract MOVPE growth of InN on sapphire substrate is reviewed focusing on the critical growth parameters. Based on our in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry results obtained during growth and the results found in the literature we suggest a strategy for successful growth of high quality InN layers
