In the paper a one‐dimensional method of calculation for temperature profiles in crystal growth furnaces is described. It is characterized by high flexibility. The model applied to our own calculations is based on heat balances in segments of a multi‐zone furnace and presupposes the availability of experimental data which allow the coefficients to be derived which are necessary to carry out the calculations. — The results of numerical calculations demonstrate the applicability of an existing furnace unit to directional crystallization of germanium.
