The electronic structure of seven ideal metal/GaAs interfaces is calculated self-consistently, within the local-density approximation. Calculated pinning positions ranged from 0.3 to 1 eV above the valence-band maximum. The metal d elecotrons are found to play a significant role in the electronic structure of the ideal interface, and in determining the Schottky barrier height. These calculations contradict models which invoke intrinsic interface states to explain the experimentally observed Fermi-level pinning
