(2223){sub 2}/(2234){sub 2} superlattices have been synthesized by three target sequential sputter deposition of BiO, SrCu{sub 0.5}O{sub 1.5} and CaCuO{sub 2} layers. The superstructure formed was analyzed in atomic layer scale by using some X-ray diffraction technique, such as interference of x-ray specular reflection, observation of the Laue`s function pattern and a quantitative analysis of intergrowth. The superlattice, thus confirmed in the atomic layer scale, has a superconducting transition temperature ({Tc}) as high as the average of monophasic 223 and 2234 films. The resistivity showed a similar angular dependence on the magnetic field orientation even at the temperature higher than the {Tc} of 2234. These results will be discussed by the hole diffusion and/or the proximity effect between the 2223 and 2234 layers.
