the fixing of the Fermi level at a semiconductor surface by surface states, making contact barrier heights nearly independent of the metal used.

In semiconductor physics, Fermi level pinning refers to the fixing of the Fermi level at a semiconductor surface by surface states, making contact barrier heights nearly independent of the metal used. This meaning comes from Bardeen (1947) in Physical Review.[1]
