Single phase, epitaxial, transparent, and p‐type CuAlO 2 films are successfully grown on c‐plane sapphire by polymer‐assisted deposition. At wavelengths in the range of 400–1000 nm, the optical transmittance of the films is 60–80 %. The energy band gap is 3.6 eV. The as‐synthesized CuAlO 2 films are highly resistive, with room‐temperature resistivity around 10 5 Ω cm. The resistivity can be reduced to 10 3 –10 4 Ω cm by post‐annealing films in oxygen.
