Calcium borate (CaB₁O₃) is an inorganic ceramic compound belonging to the borate family of semiconductors. This material is primarily of research interest for optoelectronic and photonic applications, where its wide bandgap and crystal structure make it suitable for UV-responsive devices and potentially for scintillation or luminescent applications. Engineers would consider calcium borates when conventional wide-bandgap semiconductors (such as GaN or SiC) are unsuitable, or when specific optical transparency windows or thermal stability in boron-rich environments are required.
