TiW has several practical advantages over Cr, some of them only relevant to
the semiconductor industry. It combines good adhesion with diffusion
barrier properties. It's stress can be easily controlled by the deposition
pressure.
Typical Ti content in the target (there will be less in your film) is 7 to
15 weight%, 10% being the most common.
