c‐InN (zincblende structure) films have been successfully grown on GaAs(001) substrates by rf‐plasma‐assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The X‐ray diffraction analysis has confirmed the growth of c‐InN films whose growth temperature was 400–550 °C. The structural properties (i.e. surface flatness and crystal quality) of the InN films are obviously improved for the growth condition of the near surface‐stoichiometry at the In‐rich side. By high resolution transmission electron microscopy images and 2θ/ω X‐ray reciprocal space mapping measurements, hexagonal‐phase InN (h‐InN) is found to be generated from c‐InN{111} facets. The volume content of c‐InN is estimated to be ∼82% at maximum based on an analysis of the X‐ray diffraction intensity. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
