The substrate we used was the as-grown (011) surface of an AlPO4 crystal grown by hydrothermal synthesis. InN growth occurs as the nonpolar M-plane. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of the epilayer are comparable with those of layers obtained by conventional growth on polar GaN MOVPE templates deposited on C-plane sapphire. We discuss the utilization of other MX-O-4 oxides for growing nitrides. %G English %L hal-00540227 %U https://hal.science/hal-00540227 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ GES %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2
