Significance Resistivity comparison methodology was developed to measure and analyze the contact-induced Fermi-level shift (CIFS) as well as the interfacial charge transfer in low-dimensional semimetal–semiconductor (Sm-S) systems. The Fermi-level catch-up model was further built to depict the gate-tunable CIFS in such Sm-S systems. The Schottky barrier height for the Sm-S junction can be modified by introducing the CIFS term. The progress in this work will have an important role in promoting the research of Sm-S junctions, which are essential building blocks for future low-dimensional nanodevices.
