  We report on the synthesis of perovskite SrIrO3 thin films using sputtering
technique. Single phase (110) oriented SrIrO$_3$ thin films were epitaxially
grown on SrTiO3 (001) substrate. Using off-axis XRD $\theta-2\theta$ scans, we
demonstrate that these films exhibit (110) out-of-plane orientation with (001)
and (1-10) lying in-plane. The sputtering grown thin films have a smooth,
homogeneous surface, and excellent coherent interface with the substrate.
