1. A method of depositing a transition metal nitride-containing material on a substrate by a cyclic deposition process, the method comprising:
providing a substrate in a reaction chamber;
providing an organometallic transition metal precursor to the reaction chamber in a vapor phase;
providing an auxiliary reactant to the reaction chamber in a vapor phase; and
providing a nitrogen precursor into the reaction chamber in a vapor phase to form a transition metal nitride on the substrate;
wherein the transition metal precursor comprises a transition metal from any of groups 4 to 6 of the periodic table of elements,
wherein the auxiliary reactant comprises a halogen selected from a group consisting of bromine and iodine, and
wherein the auxiliary reactant comprises a 1,2-dihaloalkane or 1,2-dihaloalkene or 1,2-dihaloalkyne or 1,2-dihaloarene.
