Abstract

A polycrystalline silicon wafer having the step of flowing in a predetermined atmosphere molten liquid of silicon base material on a rotating fabrication tray toward a radial direction by means of a centrifugal force produced by the rotation of the tray, thereby forming a thin molten material layer of desired diameter with the molten liquid and solidifying the molten material, comprising a cover, at which a through hole is perforated at the ceiling wall thereof, detachably covered on the tray, a wafer-molding space formed to be surrounded by the cover and the tray, the molten material being filled in the wafer-molding space via the through hole to form a thin molten material layer. Thus, the wafers can be simultaneously formed without production of small projections of the surface of the wafers.
