About
Acceptor
group three elements in the periodic table such as
boron, B,
aluminum, Al, gallium, Ga, or indium, In, have one less
electron in the outer most energy level than
silicon, Si. When these atoms are introduced into
silicon, an
impurity level is created near the
valence band. At zero degrees kelvin the
impurity level is empty, at room temperature sufficient energy is available to excite electrons from the valence band into the impurity level.
Because these Elements introduce impurity levels that accept
electrons,
they are referred to as acceptors. See also
donor.
