Abstract: The present invention is a process for enhancing the chemical vapor deposition of titanium nitride from a titanium containing precursor selected from the group consisting of tetrakis(dimethylamino)titanium, tetrakis(diethylamino)titanium and mixtures thereof, reacted with ammonia to produce the titanium nitride on a semiconductor substrate by the addition of organic amines, such as dipropylamine, in a range of approximately 10 parts per million by weight to 10% by weight, preferably 50 parts per million by weight to 1.0 percent by weight, most preferably 100 parts per million by weight to 5000 parts per million by weight to the titanium containing precursor wherein prior to the reaction, said titanium containing precursor is subjected to a purification process to remove hydrocarbon impurities from the titanium containing precursor.

Abstract: A recessed lighting fixture is molded in one piece, preferably of plastic, and includes a frame for holding a lamp housing as well as a junction box having a hinged lid. The frame and junction box define a planar vertical surface which is abutted against a joist and affixed thereto by nails extending through spaced nailways. Hangerways are also provided in the lighting fixture through which hanger bars are inserted for supporting the lighting fixture between two joists as an alternate way of supporting the fixture.

Abstract: An adjustable fixture for holding a lamp of the type having a rim which includes a frame rotatably carried on a support arm by an attachment device that permits selected rotation of the frame relative to the support without adjustment of the attachment device. Further, the frame includes engagement springs to securely hold the lamp at a distance from the frame. A stop device is provided to provide a limit to the rotational movement between the frame and the support.

Abstract: A plaster frame or base for recessed lighting fixtures has hanger bar receiving corners which are bendable to accommodate parallel or perpendicular axis orientation relative to ceiling joists or suspension grids. The frame spans the space between a pair of hanger bars and its corners have a plurality of mountings to accommodate different types of hanger bar such as flat horizontal, flat vertical, and adjustable interlocking hanger bars. The frame is preferably a rectangular metal plate with a flat base having upstanding side flanges, a fixture receiving aperture through the base between the flanges having a depending skirt or collar to surround and mount the fixture, mountings on the base for a junction box adjacent the aperture, and bendable hanger bar securing corners. The plate is sufficiently narrow to fit through the conventional ceiling aperture for the fixture.
