This paper examines the ion beam-assisted deposition (IBAD) of thin boron nitride films using cryogenically condensed precursors. Low energy (1100 eV) argon ad (2000 eV) deuterated ammonia beams with currents of 600--850 nA were used to mix and initiate reactions in frozen (90 K) layers of diborane (B{sub 2}H{sub 6} and ammonia (NH{sub 3}) or only B{sub 2}H{sub 6}, respectively. The resulting film is shown to be an amorphous BN coating approximately 30 {Angstrom} thick.
