Epitaxial films of Sr{sub 2}RuO{sub 4} have been grown in situ by pulsed laser deposition on (100) LaAlO{sub 3} and (100) LaSrGaO{sub 4} substrates. X-ray diffraction results show that the films are single domain and grow c-axis oriented on (100) LaAlO{sub 3} and a-axis oriented on (100) LaSrGaO{sub 4} substrates. X-ray {phi}-scans indicate epitaxial alignment of the film and substrate in-plane axes in both cases. Resistivity versus temperature measurements reveal that the as-grown c-axis oriented films are semiconducting and the a-axis oriented films are metallic. The metallic films grown so far were found to be non-superconducting down to 50 mK.
