The growth of Aluminum Gallium Nitride (AlxGa1-xN) layers by Halide Vapor Phase Epitaxy (HVPE) on ammonothermal GaN substrates was investigated. Metal chloride precursors were synthesized from high-purity Ga and Al using HCl or Cl₂ in a multi-zone HVPE reactor. The effects of hydrogen admixture and substrate misorientation on morphology, Al incorporation, and structural quality were analyzed. A 60 µm-thick AlxGa1-xN layer with ~10 at.% Al was obtained in a single run. Step-flow morphologies and a considerable Borrmann effect indicated high crystalline quality between cracks caused by seed–layer mismatch. Results demonstrate the potential for producing free-standing AlxGa1-xN substrates.
