A method of making an article of a semiconducting material involves withdrawing from a melt of molten semiconducting material a solid mold having already formed on an external surface of the mold a solid layer of the semiconducting material. During the act of withdrawal, one or more of a temperature, a force, and a relative rate of withdrawal are controlled in order to achieve one or more desired attributes in a solid overlayer of semiconductor material that is formed over the solid layer during the withdrawal.
