Apparatus for forming thin layers of material such as single crystalline silicon includes a container having a generally cylindrical interior surface. The container is rotatably mounted and movable through a heater. In forming the layer of material, the material is heated in the container to a temperature above the material melting point. The container is rotated whereby the liquid material adheres to the interior surface of the container by centrifugal force. The container is slowly cooled beginning at one end thereof whereby the layer of material solidifies.
