Abstract: An improved wafer type semiconductor may be fabricated by depositing an insulating film layer of predetermined thickness on a semiconductor substrate, preferably of silicon, depositing a substantially pure polycrystalline silicon layer of predetermined thickness on the insulating film layer, and thereafter depositing a doped oxide film layer of predetermined thickness on the substantially pure polycrystalline silicon layer, and effecting diffusion of the dopant into the pure polycrystalline silicon layer whereby a semiconductor wafer with a resistance of several meg-ohms.cm is provided.
