When the metal and the semicondutor are electrically connected, electrons flow from the material with a low work function to the material with a high work function. This current flow stops when a built-in voltage is established that is equal to the work function difference,

$$Vbi=ϕm−ϕsVbi=ϕm−ϕsV_{bi}=\phi_m-\phi_s$$.
$$V_{bi} = \Phi_m - \Phi_s V_{bi} = \Phi_m - \Phi_s$$

The work function of a semiconductor depends on the electron affinity χsχs\\chi\_s and the doping,

$$ϕs=χs+Ec−EFϕs=χs+Ec−EF\phi_s=\chi_s+E_c-E_F$$.
$$\Phi_s = \chi_s + E_c - E_F \Phi_s = \chi_s + E_c - E_F$$
