Hole

<electronics> The absence of an electron in a semiconductor material.

In the electron model, a hole can be thought of as an incomplete outer electron shell in a doping substance.

Holes can also be thought of as positive charge carriers; while this is in a sense a fiction, it is a useful abstraction.
