contents Electron-correlated two-dimensional (2D) cuprates have been extensively studied since the discovery of high-Tc superconductivity, in contrast, the three-dimensional (3D) counterpart perovskite cuprates remain largely unexplored due to their chemical instability and synthesis challenges. Herein, we develop an efficient two-step approach that combines symmetry-selective growth and topotactic oxidization to synthesize high-quality perovskite LaCuO3 films, and furthermore reveal its exotic electronic states. The compressively strained LaCuO3 films exhibit an unexpected ultrahigh p-type conductivity of ~1.5*10^5 S/cm with a hole mobility of ~30 cm2 V-1 s-1 at room-temperature. X-ray absorption spectra and first-principles calculations unveil a ligand-hole state of p-d hybridization with degenerate eg orbitals and light effective mass, indicating nearly-vanishing electron-correlation. These features contrast sharply with 2D cuprates and offer physical insights into the design of high-performance electronic devices.
