The authors have grown HTS bilayers (LaAlO{sub 3}/YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7}) and trilayers (YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7}/LaAlO{sub 3}/YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7}) using off-axis rf sputtering from single stoichiometric targets. TEM examination shows that both the LaAlO{sub 3} and YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} films grow epitaxially upon the preceding layer. The interfaces between layers and at the LaAlO{sub 3} substrates are sharp and clean. This paper reports that deposition of the subsequent layers does not degrade the electrical properties of the bottom YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} layer; this observation extends to the surface resistance, and to the superconducting transition temperature of the bottom YBCO layer. The authors discuss the results of the electrical measurements of the multilayer structures made by the off- and on-axis LaAlO{sub 3} depositions.
