CrN was proven as a great option for protective coatings applications due to its hardness, low coefficient of friction and great corrosion resistance . Moreover, CrN exhibits good heat resistance and great thermal stability . These exceptional properties recommend CrN as a good candidate for microelectronics applications , especially in the domain of protection against corrosion, oxidation, and heat . A remarkable property of CrN thin films is the tunability of resistivity with the orientation of crystallites , which opens a large palette of electrical applications of CrN.
