Deposition of Titanium nitride

Thin films of titanium nitride can be deposited by ALD and sputtering methods.

Information about the ALD process can be found here.

Information about the sputtering process can be found here.

Comparison between sputtering and ALD methods for deposition of Titanium Nitride.
