English term or phrase: acceptor
Definition from Tyco Electronics Corporation:
A material that is intentionally added to a pure semiconductor material to increase the population of free holes in that semiconductor, resulting in a net positive charge. A semiconductor that has had acceptor material added to it is called "p-type."

Example sentence(s):
  • For practical doping levels, it is fair to assume that the free electron concentration is equal to the concentration of donor atoms and the hole concentration is equal to the concentration of acceptor atoms. everything2.com
  • Acceptor dopant in nitride semiconductors makes deep acceptor level (>100 meV) and generates few hole carriers into the valence band because of large electron affinity of N. Materials Research Society
  • The energy gained when an electron is taken up by an acceptor atom from the valence band of the crystal is the ionization energy of the atom. answers.com

aceptor


Definition from Real Academia de la Lengua Española:
Impureza que se introduce en la red cristalina de ciertos semiconductores para que acepten electrones en exceso.

Example sentence(s):
  • Cuando el material dopante es añadido, éste libera los electrones más débilmente vinculados de los átomos del semiconductor. Este agente dopante es también conocido como material aceptor y los átomos del semiconductor que han perdido un electrón son conocidos como huecos. - Wikipedia

aceptor


Definition from own experience or research:
Al añadir un material aceptor a un semiconductor, los átomos del material semiconductor ceden electrones a los átomos del material aceptor. A los átomos que pierden un electrón se les llama huecos, y son los portadores mayoritarios en el semiconductor P.
