Monocrystalline films of zinc oxide were grown at 300C by atomic layer deposition. ZnO layers were grown on various substrates like ZnO bulk crystal, GaN, SiC and Al_2O_3. Electrical properties of the films depend on structural quality. Structural quality, surface morphology and optical properties of ZnO films were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and photoluminescence, respectively. High resolution X-ray diffraction spectra show that the rocking curve FWHM of the symmetrical 00.2 reflection equals to 0.058° and 0.009° for ZnO deposited on a gallium nitride template and a zinc oxide substrate, respectively. In low temperature photoluminescence sharp excitonic lines in the band-edge region with a FWHM equal to 4 meV, 5 meV and 6 meV, for zinc oxide deposited on gallium nitride, zinc oxide and sapphire substrate, respectively.
