Abstract

A process for depositing a thin film of a transition metal nitride, e.g., titanium nitride, on a substrate is provided. The vapors of a transition metal organometallic coompound or a transition metal amido compound are mixed with ammonia gas and allowed to react near a substrate heated to a temperature in the range of 100.degree. C. to 400.degree. C., resulting in deposition of a film on the substrate.
