Lemma 10.35.18. Let R be a Jacobson ring. Let K be a field. Let R \subset K and K is of finite type over R. Then R is a field and K/R is a finite field extension.
Proof. First note that R is a domain. By Lemma 10.34.2 we see that R_ f is a field and K/R_ f is a finite field extension for some nonzero f \in R. Hence (0) is a maximal ideal of R_ f and by Lemma 10.35.14 we conclude (0) is a maximal ideal of R. \square
