hi neyhmor,
 
thank you very much for your quick response and  for the links you gave me, I 
already read some papers, but what i want to know exactly as follows: for the 
calculation of the energy of an transition level (0 / q), we must find the 
energy of the system in the neutral charge state (0)  and the enrgy at charge 
state (q), it is the latter that intrigues me, is this energy that of the 
defect level or it must change few things in the input file of siesta and 
recalculate the energy?

The answer for the first question is : No


For the second you can take a look on:

Dear siesta users:
 
I calculated the band structure of nitrogen doped ZnO nanowire and showing a 
acceptor defect level just above the highest occupied state, knowing that the 
Fermi level is below the highest occupied level. I want to know if this looks 
like a semi-metallic character and how to calculate the energy of the system at 
charge state q (-1) in siesta.
I'll be very grateful if someone can help
 
slimane,
