Electrical properties (resistivity and temperature coefficient of resistivity) of the Y(Ga,Al)$_2$, Y(Ga,Si)$_2$ and Y(Ga,Ge)$_2$ solid solutions are studied using the model coatings deposited on mica substrate. Analysis of temperature dependences of the resistivity reveals that YGa$_2$ compound as well as the solid solutions on its base possess a metallic conductivity. Substitution of a certain part of the gallium atoms in YGa$_2$ compound belonging to AlB$_2$-type structure with germanium, silicon or aluminium atoms leads to decrease of resistivity in the Ga $\to$ Ge $\to$ Si $\to$ Al series that may be caused by both the nature of atoms themselves and technological parameters of coatings’ preparation (primarily, by their homogeneity).

Key words: intermetallics, electrical properties, crystal structure, x-ray diffraction.
