Abstract
A process for depositing a thin film of a main group metal nitride, e.g., AlN, GaN or Sn3 N4, 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° C. to 400° C. resulting in deposition of a film on the substrate.
