ScBO3 (scandium borate) is a ceramic semiconductor compound belonging to the borate material family, primarily investigated in research settings for optoelectronic and photonic applications. While not yet widely commercialized, scandium borate compounds are of interest for their potential in ultraviolet (UV) transparency, nonlinear optical properties, and as host materials for rare-earth ion doping in laser and scintillator applications. Engineers and researchers evaluate this material class when exploring alternatives to conventional borates and oxides for specialized optical devices, radiation detection systems, or high-temperature semiconductor applications where chemical stability and wide bandgap semiconductivity are advantageous.
