Within the past years we optimized and studied the properties of superconducting niobium nitride films fabricated with plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD). The films are polycrystalline and consist mainly of cubic δ-niobium-nitride grains of only a few nanometers in size. A superconductor to insulator transition (SIT) can be observed within ultrathin PEALD-NbN films by reducing the film thickness from 3.1 to 2.8 nm. Well-adjusting the film thickness slightly above the SIT point the films show high values of the kinetic inductance and the normal state resistance. Such films were used to fabricate nanowires in which the coherent quantum phase slips (CQPS) can be observed. Observation of the Aharonov-Casher effect as well as the dynamics of the CQPS are discussed.
