The AlxGa1–xN layers on GaN/Al2O3 substrates are grown by mixed‐source hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) at various temperatures of the source zone. We find source zone temperature dependence of the composition x of AlxGa1–xN layers. Te doping as a new attempt and Si doping in obtaining an n‐type AlGaN layers are performed by putting small amount of Te (or Si) into the Ga‐Al source, respectively. In case of Te‐doped AlGaN (x = 0.16), the carrier concentration is varied from 1.1 x 1018 to 8.0 x 1018/cm3, while in case of Si‐doped one, it is varied from 2.0 x 1016 to 1.1 x 1017/cm3. We find the new results that Te doping is more suitable to get a high n‐type concentration by mixed‐source HVPE. InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) are grown on the selective area growth (SAG)‐Te‐doped AlGaN and SAG‐Si‐doped AlGaN cladding layer by mealorganic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD), respectively. Furthermore, we investigate the electroluminescence (EL) properties of SAG‐LEDs of two different cladding layers. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
