Abstract

A process for manufacturing isolated semi conductor components in a semi conductor wafer of the type used in bipolar technology. In this process, polycrystalline silicon is deposited in a recess in a silicon substrate whose walls are insulated by a silicon nitride layer except for an opening formed in this nitride layer at the bottom of said recess. Then, the polycrystalline silicon is re-epitaxied so as to become monocrystalline silicon by thermal heating from the "nucleus" formed by the underlying silicon in said opening.
