We have measured the microwave resistance of highly conducting perovskite oxide SrMoO3 thin film coplanar waveguides. The epitaxial SrMoO3 thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition and showed low mosaicity and smooth surfaces with a root mean square roughness below 0.3 nm. Layer-by-layer growth could be achieved for film thicknesses up to 400 nm as monitored by reflection high-energy electron diffraction and confirmed by X-ray diffraction. We obtained a constant microwave resistivity of 29 µ Ωcm between 0.1 and 20 GHz by refining the frequency dependence of the transmission coefficients. Our result shows that SrMoO3 is a viable candidate as a highly conducting electrode material for all-oxide microwave electronic devices.
