In this work, the growth and conductivity of semipolar AlxGa1−xN:Si with (11-22) orientation are investigated. AlxGa1−xN:Si (x = 0.60 ± 0.03 and x = 0.80 ± 0.02) layers were grown with different SiH4 partial pressures, and the electrical properties were determined using Hall measurements at room temperature. The aluminum mole fraction was measured by wavelength dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction, and the Si-concentration was measured by wavelength dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectroscopy. Layer resistivities as low as 0.024 Ω cm for x = 0.6 and 0.042 Ω cm for x = 0.8 were achieved. For both aluminum mole fractions, the resistivity exhibits a minimum with the increasing Si concentration, which can be explained by compensation due to the formation of cation vacancy complexes at high doping levels. The onset of self-compensation occurs at larger estimated Si concentrations for larger Al contents.
