Bridged, doped zones are formed in a semiconductor. A silicon nitride layer is deposited and structured on a semi-conductor region with a predetermined dopant concentration. The structure is subjected to thermal oxidation, with the result that at least one oxide region and at least two oxide-free regions, which are separated from one another by the oxide region, are produced on the surface of the semiconductor region. A dopant is introduced into the oxide-free regions and driven into the semiconductor region. A coherent zone is thus produced in the semiconductor region with a dopant concentration at least ten times the dopant concentration of the semiconductor region. This produces a coherent zone having a high dopant concentration which is bridged by the oxide region which separates the oxide-free regions on the surface of the semiconductor region. Conductive layers, such as a polysilicon layer or a metal layer, for example, can be formed on the oxide region (oxide bridge), with the assurance the conductive layer is completely insulated from the doped zone.
