10. The impacts of Fermi energy pinning on the Schottky barrier height is still controversial for nanomaterials. Some calculations demonstrate that the Fermi-level pinning, no matter how strong, cannot control the device properties of metal-semiconductor contacts in the nanogeometry as that in a planar geometry, since the effects of the finite density of states throughout the bandgap of the semiconductor on the potential decays significantly within 2 nm at the metal-semiconductor interface.
