We report on the hot‐wall MOCVD growth of Mg‐doped Al x Ga 1– x N layers with an Al content as high as x ∼ 0.85. After subjecting the layers to post‐growth in‐situ annealing in nitrogen in the growth reactor, a room temperature resistivity of 7 kΩ cm was obtained indicating an enhanced p‐type conductivity compared to published data for Al x Ga 1– x N layers with a lower Al content of x ∼ 0.70 and a room temperature resistivity of about 10 kΩ cm. It is believed that the enhanced p‐type conductivity is a result of reduced compensation by native defects through growth conditions enabled by the distinct hot‐wall MOCVD system.
