Processes are provided for depositing titanium nanolaminate thin films that can be used, for example, in integrated circuit fabrication, such as in forming spacers in a pitch multiplication process. In some embodiments a titanium nanolaminate film comprising titanium oxide layers and titanium nitride layers is deposited on a three-dimensional feature, such as an existing mask feature. The conformal titanium nanolaminate film may be directionally etched so that only the titanium nanolaminate deposited or formed on the sidewalls of the existing three-dimensional feature remains. The three-dimensional feature is then removed via an etching process, leaving the pitch doubled titanium nanolaminate film.
