The donor and acceptor atoms/ions are what causes the deplete region to form. Without the doping there would be no electron/hole current flowing in the semiconductor. The semiconductor, lets say its silicon, sits there by itself and will not be useful until it is doped with the donor/acceptor atoms, which causes the depletion region to form
