Abstract :
The authors deal with the preparation of W/Sn/GaAs and W/Sn/Pd/GaAs contact structures. The metal layers were deposited by the sputtering method and annealing was carried out using an Nd:YAG pulsed laser. Better quality was achieved using contact structures containing palladium. The best measured contact resistance were ~2.1×10-6 Ω cm2
