Facile fabrication of high‐temperature superconducting La 2 CuO 4 thin films through the combination of two seemingly disparate techniques is reported. Pulsed laser ablation is used to produce stoichiometric, c ‐axis oriented La 2 CuO 4 thin films −3700 Å in thickness. The convenient method of controlled room‐temperature chemical oxidation using aqueous sodium bromite is then utilized to introduce excess holes in the valance band of La 2 CuO 4 . This induces superconductivity in the otherwise antiferromagnetic semiconductor.
