- (a) forming on a planar semiconductor substrate with uniform doping of a first conductivity type an insulation film to be used as an element separating region;
- (b) selectively removing said insulating film by etching to form a plurality of element separating regions in an upright state on the substrate which in turn form a plurality of island regions of the substrate which are separated from one another on the substrate;
- (c) depositing by selective epitaxial growth thin monocrystalline semiconductor layers which are sufficiently thinner than said element separating regions at the bottom portion on said island regions of the substrate;
- (d) doping a first impurity of the first or second conductivity type into at least one of said thin semiconductor layers to form an impurity layer of the first or second conductivity type;
- (e) performing selective epitaxial growth to embed said island regions of the substrate with the monocrystalline semiconductor layers; and

- 2. A process according to claim 1, wherein before performing said first selective epitaxial growth in step (c), a layer of the same conductivity type is formed on at least one of said island substrate regions, said layer having a higher density than that of the impurity layer which is formed on said island substrate region.

- 4. A process according to claim 1, wherein in step (d) of forming said impurity layer, said first impurity is doped to be the opposite conductivity type as that of said monocrystalline semiconductor layer in which said impurity layer is formed.
- 5. A process according to claim 1, wherein in step (f) of forming said element regions, said second impurity of the first or second conductivity type is doped in said monocrystalline semiconductor to be the opposite conductivity type as said impurity layer with respect to the monocrystalline semiconductor layer in which at least said impurity layer was formed.
- 6. A process for manufacturing a C-MOS device comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming on a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type an insulation film to be used as element seperating regions;
- (b) selectively removing said insulation film by etching to form element separating regions in an upright state on said substrate which in turn form a plurality of island regions of the substrate which are separated from one another on the substrate;
- (c) forming an insulation layer which is sufficiently thinner than said element separating regions on selected regions among said plurality of island regions of the substrate separated by said element separating regions;
- (d) forming a thin non-monocrystalline layer which is sufficiently thinner than said element separating regions on the whole surface;
- (e) doping a first impurity of a first or second conductivity type in at least one of the thin non-monocrystalline semiconductor layers embedded in said island regions of the substrate to form an impurity layer having an impurity density of not smaller than 1.times.10.sup.16 /cm.sup.3 ;
- (f) forming a non-monocrystalline semiconductor layer on the whole surface so that said island regions of the substrate are embedded;
- (g) radiating an energy beam onto said non-monocrystalline semiconductor layer and said impurity layer to convert them to a monocrystalline layer and to a monocrystalline impurity layer;
- (h) removing said monocrystalline semiconductor layers on said element separating regions by etching; and
- (i) doping a second impurity of the first or second conductivity type into the island regions containing said first impurity in which said insulation layer is provided and into the monocrystalline semiconductor layer which remains in the island region of the substrate adjacent to said island region containing said first impurity to form element regions of the first and second conductivity types having an impurity density lower than that of the respective monocrystalline impurity layer in the two adjacent island regions.
- 7. A process for manufacturing a C-MOS device according to claim 1, wherein said impurity layer has an impurity density more than 1.times.10.sup.16 /cm.sup.3.
