We have investigated the feasibility of depositing TiN from nitrogen plasmas by Electron Cyclotron Resonance – Metal Organic Molecular Beam Epitaxy (ECR-MOMBE). Growth rate, index of refraction and resistivity were evaluated as a function of growth temperature and group V flow. It was found that TiN could be deposited at reasonable growth rates on either GaAs or Si substrates. However, the resistivity of the materia is quite high, >1700 µΩ-cm, probably because of significant carbon uptake into the layers.
