Abstract of the Disclosure

A method is disclosed for forming spaced regions of semiconductor material in an insulating substrate for providing a microelectronic circuit. In addition, a device is disclosed including a plurality of spaced regions of semiconductor material electrically insulated from one another through the substrate. In the disclosed method mesas are selectively formed at one surface of a semiconductor wafer, the surface is coated with an insulating material to support the mesas at the one surface of the semiconductor wafer, and the semiconductor wafer is then removed to leave the semiconductor mesas embedded in the substrate.
