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

accepteur
Definition:
Un accepteur (d’électrons) est une impureté ajoutée en quantité déterminée à un matériau semiconducteur pour en augmenter la population de trous, avec pour effet une charge nette positive. Un semiconducteur contenant des atomes accepteurs est dit de type « p ».

Definition from own experience or research:
Un accepteur (d’électrons) est une impureté ajoutée en quantité déterminée à un matériau semiconducteur pour en augmenter la population de trous, avec pour effet une charge nette positive. Un semiconducteur contenant des atomes accepteurs est dit de type « p ».

Example sentence(s):
  • Un cristal de silicium peut à la fois contenir des atomes donneurs et des atomes accepteurs ; il se comportera comme un cristal n ou un cristal p, suivant la proportion relative de ces atomes. - Introduction à l’électronique analog  
  • L’atome étranger se comporte en accepteur d’électrons et la bande de valence devient conductrice grâce aux lacunes positives. - Atlas de la physique
