A structure comprising thin defect-free monocrystalline layer of a silicon of an insulating layer is produced from a structure comprising a thin recrystallizable layer of silicon on an insulating layer by use of a low softening point insulating layer, scanning the structure relative to a zone heater the beams of which are focused on the recrystallizable silicon layer so as to form a melt zone having a convex solid-liquid interface in the silicon layer while forming a liquid area under the melt zone in the insulating layer.
