Zinc oxide is a promising wide band gap semiconductor for future optoelectronic devices. Today ZnO bulk single crystals are grown by three different techniques: hydrothermally, from the melt and by chemical vapor transport. For our studies we employed in addition a simple and low cost vapor phase method which gives us good quality crystals and flexibility in crystal doping. The as-grown single crystals were characterized by resistivity measurements, scanning electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction and low temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy. The biggest crystals so far are c-axis oriented needles with maximum length of 40 mm and maximum diameter of 1 mm. The needle-shaped crystals are n-type with main donors due to Al, Ga and In impurities. The growth conditions have a strong influence on the optical properties of as-grown crystals.
