- TL;DR Summary
- Does the acceptor level or donor level change if we change the base of the semiconductor?
Suppose we have a crystal lattice of doped Si with dopant Boron atoms. The energy level of the holes of the Boron atoms are just some eV above the valence band of Si.
My question: If we replace all the Si atoms with Ge atoms will the acceptor level change or not? I don't think it will change but why not ask it? In other words, does the acceptor level depend on the type of semiconductor we use as base?
