1. acceptor

   An acceptor generally refers to anything or anyone that accepts something. The specific definition can vary based on context. In science, particularly chemistry and physics, an acceptor is a material or an atom that accepts an electron, often used in the context of semiconductors or electron transfer reactions. In terms of business or finance, it might refer to a party that accepts responsibility for payment on a bill of exchange. In biology, it could refer to a molecule that accepts electrons or hydrogen from another molecule. In the context of linguistics, it could refer to a state machine that reads an input sequence and ends in an "accept" state under certain conditions.

2. acceptor

   An acceptor is an entity, such as an individual, organization, or device, that agrees to receive, obtain, or recognize something that is given, offered, or transmitted. In different fields or contexts, it may refer to one that accepts an offered contract, a device that accepts data or signals, or a chemical entity that accepts electrons. The specific meaning depends on the context in which it's used.

1. Acceptor

   In semiconductor physics, an acceptor is a dopant atom that when added to a semiconductor can form a p-type region. For example, when silicon, having four valence electrons, needs to be doped as a p-type semiconductor, elements from group III like boron or aluminium, having three valence electrons, can be used. The latter elements are also called trivalent impurities. Other trivalent dopants include indium and gallium. When substituting a Si atom in the crystal lattice, the three valence electrons of boron form covalent bonds with three of the Si neighbours but the bond with the fourth neighbour remains unsatisfied. The unsatisfied bond attracts electrons from the neighbouring bonds. At room temperature, an electron from the neighbouring bond will jump to repair the unsatisfied bond thus leaving a hole. The hole will again attract an electron from the neighbouring bond to repair this unsatisfied bond. This chain-like process results in the hole moving around the crystal and able to carry a current thus acting as a charge carrier. The initially electroneutral acceptor becomes negatively charged.
