Contact resistance (R{sub c}) can substantially obscure the extracted mobility based on standard transconductance or two-point conductance measurements of field-effect devices especially for low density of states materials such as MoS{sub 2} or similar atomic crystals. Currently, there exists a pressing need for a routine technique that can decouple mobility extraction from R{sub c}. By combining experiments and analysis, we show that the Y-function method offers a robust route for evaluating the low-field mobility, threshold voltage and R{sub c} even when the contact is a Schottky-barrier as is common in two-dimensional transistors. In addition, an independent modified transfer length method evaluation corroborates the Y-function analysis.
