A conductive composition of titanium boronitride (TiBxNy) is disclosed for use as a conductive material. The titanium boronitride is used as conductive material in the testing and fabrication of integrated circuits. For example, the titanium boronitride is used to construct contact pads such as inline pads, backend pads, sensors, or probes. Advantages of embodiments of the titanium boronitride include reduced scratching, increased hardness, finer granularity, thermal stability, good adhesion, and low bulk resistivity. Exemplary methods of creating the titanium boronitride include a sputtering process and a plasma anneal process.
