AbstractUsing one material system from the near infrared into the ultraviolet is an attractive goal, and may be achieved with (In,Al,Ga)N. This III-N material system, famous for enabling blue and white solid-state lighting, has been pushing towards longer wavelengths in more recent years. With a bandgap of about 0.7 eV, InN can emit light in the near infrared, potentially overlapping with the part of the electromagnetic spectrum currently dominated by III-As and III-P technology. As has been the case in these other III–V material systems, nanostructures such as quantum dots and quantum dashes provide additional benefits towards optoelectronic devices. In the case of InN, these nanostructures have been in the development stage for some time, with more recent developments allowing for InN quantum dots and dashes to be incorporated into larger device structures. This review will detail the current state of metalorganic chemical vapor deposition of InN nanostructures, focusing on how precursor choices, crystallographic orientation, and other growth parameters affect the deposition. The optical properties of InN nanostructures will also be assessed, with an eye towards the fabrication of optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes, laser diodes, and photodetectors.

This review will cover recent work on InN quantum dots (QDs), specifically focusing on advances in metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of metal-polar InN QDs for applications in optoelectronic devices. The ability to use InN in optoelectronic devices would expand the nitrides system from current visible and ultraviolet devices into the near infrared. Although there was a significant surge in InN research after the discovery that its bandgap provided potential infrared communication band emission, those studies failed to produce an electroluminescent InN device in part due to difficulties in achieving p-type InN films. Devices utilizing InN QDs, on the other hand, were hampered by the inability to cap the InN without causing intermixing with the capping material. The recent work on InN QDs has proven that it is possible to use capping methods to bury the QDs without significantly affecting their composition or photoluminescence. Herein, we will discuss the current state of metal-polar InN QD growth by MOCVD, focusing on density and size control, composition, relaxation, capping, and photoluminescence. The outstanding challenges which remain to be solved in order to achieve InN infrared devices will be discussed.
