P-type thermoelectric material was sintered by Hot Press process (HP) and the effect of boron ( at%) addition on the thermoelectric properties were reported. To enhance the thermoelectric performances, the , alloys were fabricated by mechanical alloying (MA) and HP. The carrier of p-type SiGe alloy was controlled by B-doping. The effect of sintering condition and thermoelectric properties were investigated. B-doped SiGe alloys exhibited positive seebeck coefficient. The electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity were increased at the small amount of boron content ( at%). However, they were decreased over 0.5 at% boron content. As a result, the small addition of boron improved the Z value. The Z value of 0.5 at% B doped B alloy was , the highest value among the prepared alloys
