Abstract
Disclosed is an indium-containing semiconductor device which includes an ohmic contact formed by application of successive layers of Au-Sn-Cr-Au. The combination of Sn and Cr layers provides an effective barrier to the diffusion of indium to the surface of the contact so that bonding to the contact is not impeded.
