Abstract Ⅲ-nitride (InN, GaN and AlN) semiconductors have been widely used in the field of microwave and optoelectronic devices due to their unique band structure and properties. Among them, the researches and developments on InN-based materials and devices have been recognized as the key points to promote the modern optoelectronic technology. Moreover, extensive new fundamental studies have been focused on p-type conduction and room temperature ferromagnetism studies in InN. This paper first gives a brief introduction to the crystal structure and the growth methods of InN film, and analyze the challenges encountered in its development. Then we mainly concentrate on the recent development in InN research about p-type conduction and ferromagnetism. At the same time, the related researches studied in our group are presented. Finally, a short conclusion and expectation is given.
