<div>Indium nitride (InN) is a highly promising material for high frequency electronics given its</div><div>low band gap and high electron mobility. The development of InN-based devices is hampered</div><div>by the limitations in depositing very thin InN films of high quality. We demonstrate growth of</div><div>high-structural-quality nanometer thin InN films on 4H-SiC by atomic layer deposition (ALD).</div><div>High resolution X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy show epitaxial growth</div><div>and an atomically sharp interface between InN and 4H-SiC. The InN film is fully relaxed already after a few atomic layers and shows a very smooth morphology where the low surface</div><div>roughness (0.14 nm) is found to reproduced sub-nanometer surface features of the substrate. Raman measurements show an asymmetric broadening caused by grains in the InN film. Our results show the potential of ALD to prepare high quality nanometer-thin InN films for subsequent formation of heterojunctions.</div>
