We report on an investigation of superconductivity in n-type InN. There is an optimum carrier density for the occurrence of the superconductivity. The lowest carrier density is limited by the Mott transition of n(e)similar to 2 x 10(17) cm(-3) and the highest density is limited by the superconductor to insulator transition of n(e)similar to 5 x 10(20) cm(-3). We propose a mechanism where the occurrence of the superconductivity is related to the presence of In-In chains of finite length in the ab plane. The In In chains, which originate from the inversion domains of InN grown on sapphire (0001) and elongate along [11 (2) over bar0], are coupled to form micro Josephson-junctions.
