Abstract. The mixed-source hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) growth of AlGaN layer is performed on AI2O3 substrate. The AlGaN layer is studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement, Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) analysis and cathodoluminesecence (CL) spectrum to characterize the structural and optical properties. The A1 composition estimated by the XRD measurement is 30 %. The room temperature CL spectrum exhibits a weak peak at 323 nm.
