ABSTRACT:
An electronic component comprising several superimposed layers of materials including a TiCN barrier layer. A process for depositing a TiCN layer in order to obtain an electronic component, where a titanium precursor is chosen from among tetrakis(dimethylamido)titanium and/or tetrakis(diethylamido)titanium and is decomposed on a substrate by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) where the plasma is obtained with a hydrogen-rich gas which can contain nitrogen with at most 5 atomic % nitrogen and at least 95 atomic % hydrogen.
