Hello.

I was womdering does anyone know any good resources of information on Fermi level de-pinning & Schottky barriers?

I have been hunting around online, with not much luck. I thought someone here might be able to suggest some things.

Thanks.

There are many semiconductor physics book for that. I read a good book but just happen to forget the name. Have you tried S. M. Sze?
 
Read this book, "Physics of semiconductor devices", S. M. Sze, Kwok Kwok Ng, John Wiley and Sons.
