Abstract

We fabricated $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}MnO_3$ thin films using radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. They were grown on sapphire substrates with various deposition conditions. After the growth of the $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}MnO_3$ thin films, they were annealed at various temperatures to be crystallized. We successfully fabricated single phase $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}MnO_3$ thin films with high electrical conductivity. The room temperature resistivity was $1.5{\times}10^{-2}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. It can be considered that $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}MnO_3$ thin films are one of the feasible candidates for electrodes for integrated device applications.
