High resolution X‐ray photoemission spectroscopy is utilised to determine the variation in surface Fermi level pinning position for Mg‐doped c ‐plane In x Al 1– x N alloys with x ≥ 0.4. For In‐rich alloys, a transition from inversion to hole depletion was inferred at an alloy composition of x ∼ 0.7. For Al‐rich alloys, insulating samples resulted due to the difficulty of p‐type doping AlN and Al‐rich alloys, resulting in approximately flat‐band conditions, with little surface space‐charge.
