Discrepency in using Schottky barrier

[madhusudana]

As we know that in a metal-semiconductor junction schottky barrier arise. My question is that this is generally represented as sudden discontinuous jump in energies of conduction band on either side. But this will mean that the electric field at that point is infinite since electric field is derivative of potential and discontinuity in energies of bands means discontinuity in potential. So, how to resolve this?
