  16. Conclusions: • Provided optimal conditions for hydrothermal growth it is possible to obtain high-quality ZnO single crystals. Furthermore, big size crystals (over 50 mm) can be grown while the main problem is absence of large seed material. • Hydrothermal technology allows to dope zinc oxide crystals with required admixtures. • On the basis of homogenious high-quality ZnO single crystals it is possible to design fast scintillators, effective high-frequency piezotransducers, acoustoelectronic devices, high-temperature sensors, elements of power high-temperature electronics. However, the major application of ZnO crystals will be the use as substrates for ZnO homoepitaxy to create optoelectronic devices.
