	Once the vacuum levels are aligned it is possible to use the [[electron affinity]] and [[band gap]] values for each semiconductor to calculate the [[conduction band]] and [[valence band]] offsets.<ref>Davies, J. H., (1997). ''The Physics of Low-Dimensional Semiconductors''. UK: [[Cambridge University Press]].</ref> The electron affinity (usually given the symbol <math>\chi</math> in [[solid state physics]]) gives the energy difference between the lower edge of the conduction band and the [[vacuum level]] of the semiconductor. The band gap (usually given the symbol <math>E_{\rm g}</math>) gives the energy difference between the lower edge of the conduction band and the upper edge of the valence band. Each semiconductor has different electron affinity and band gap values. For semiconductor [[alloys]] it may be necessary to use [[Vegard's ~~law]] to calculate these values.~~

	Once the relative positions of the conduction and valence bands for both semiconductors are known, Anderson's rule allows the calculation of the [[band offset]]s of both the valence band (<math>\Delta E_{\rm v}</math>) and the conduction band (<math>\Delta E_{\rm c}</math>).
	~~After applying Anderson's rule and discovering the bands' alignment at the junction, [[Poisson’s equation]] can then be used to calculate the shape of the [[band bending]] in the two semiconductors.~~

	~~Consider a heterojunction between semiconductor 1~~ and ~~semiconductor 2.

	~~Next, suppose that the band gap of semiconductor 2 is large enough that the valence band of semiconductor 1 lies at a higher energy than that of semiconductor 2~~. ~~Then the valence band offset is given by:~~

	~~:<math>\Delta E_{\rm v} = (\chi_{\rm 1} + E_{\rm g1}) - (\chi_{\rm 2} + E_{\rm g2})\,</math>~~
