A GaInN quantum‐well structure with an average In‐concentration of 16%, grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on a SiC substrate, was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) before and after an one‐hour annealing treatment at 980 °C. Due to the heat treatment, the formation of In‐rich clusters with extensions between 10 nm and 100 nm and In‐concentrations above 80% was observed. Nevertheless, the PL exhibits a blue shift in the PL‐peak energy of about 90 meV compared to the as‐grown sample and do not show a significant influence of the In‐rich clusters on the emission wavelength.
