Abstract

A process for depositing a thin film of a main group metal nitride, e.g., AlN, GaN or Sn.sub.3 N.sub.4, is provided. The vapors of a main group 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.
