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.
