ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a single-crystal semiconductor layer portion above a hollowed area, including growing by selective epitaxy on an active single-crystal semiconductor region a sacrificial single-crystal semiconductor layer and a single-crystal semiconductor layer, and removing the sacrificial layer. The epitaxial growth is performed while the active region is surrounded with a raised insulating layer and the removal of the sacrificial single-crystal semiconductor layer is performed through an access resulting from an at least partial removal of the raised insulating layer.
