Lemma 32.9.8. Let $f : X \to S$ be a morphism of schemes. Assume

  1. $f$ is finite, and

  2. $S$ quasi-compact and quasi-separated.

Then $X$ is a directed limit $X = \mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits X_ i$ where the transition maps are closed immersions and the objects $X_ i$ are finite and of finite presentation over $S$.

Proof. We may write $X = \mathop{\mathrm{lim}}\nolimits X_ i$ as in Lemma 32.9.5. Applying Lemma 32.4.19 we see that $X_ i \to S$ is finite for large enough $i$. $\square$
