A method of forming a contact on an n-type III-V semiconductor comprising the steps of:

(a) depositing Al on the n-type III-V semiconductor to provide a base layer; then
(b) depositing Ti on said base layer to provide a first barrier layer; then
(c) depositing Pt on said first barrier layer to provide a second barrier layer; then
(d) depositing Au on said second barrier layer to provide a top layer, whereby said base layer, said first barrier layer, said second barrier layer, and said top layer form a stack on the n-type semiconductor; and then
(e) annealing said n-type III-V semiconductor with said stack thereon.
