Preparation of TiN films by photochemical vapor deposition

Abstract
The TiN films have been prepared by photochemical vapor deposition using a D2 lamp from a gas mixture of TiCl4 -NH3 (or N2) -H2. The deposition temperature of the TiN films was lowered by 50–100 °C by irradiation with a D2 lamp as compared to that without irradiation. The deposition rate was increased by 35–300% with irradiation.
