Proximity-effect theory of superconductor--normal-metal (S/N) superlattices is extended to the case of multilayers with an interphase between S and N layers. A nonmonotonic dependence of the superlattice critical temperature on the period ..lambda.. is obtained theoretically, in accordance with experiments of Qian et al. on Nb/Ti. Similar behavior of the perpendicular upper critical field H/sub c//sub 2/ is predicted.
