A thermoelectric material comprising a Group IV element boride doped with one of the Group III, IV, or V elements, wherein the doping element is different from the Group IV element in the Group IV element boride, and the doping element is not boron. A method of fabricating a thermoelectric material including the steps of: providing a Group IV element boride, and doping the Group IV element boride with a doping element chosen from one of the column III, IV, or V elements, wherein the doping element is different from the Group IV element in the Group IV element boride, and the doping element is not boron. An alternate method of fabricating a thermoelectric material is also disclosed including the steps of simultaneously growing on a substrate a Group IV element boride and at least one doping element chosen from one of the Group III, IV, or V elements wherein the doping element is different than the Group IV element in the Group IV element boride and the doping element is not boron.
