Abstract

This process consists of producing patterns (17) of an insulating material on a monocrystalline silicon substrate (12), depositing on the complete structure an amorphous or polycrystalline silicon film (26), covering the latter with a layer (28) of an encapsulating material, carrying out a heat treatment on the structure obtained serving to vertically embed in substrate (12) the insulating material patterns (17) and forming above the latter a monocrystalline silicon layer (33), eliminating the encapsulating material layer (28) and etching the monocrystalline silicon layer obtained (33), so as to form said islands (34).
