The conductivity of a periodical structure consisting of successive layers of a material with degenerate electron gas, divided by thin tunnel barriers, or having periodical set of planes with randomly distributed scattering centers, is calculated. In both cases a correction to resistivity increases linearly with the rise of the ratio of the bulk electron free path to the structure period. The dependence of conductivity on parameters characterizing the interfaces between conducting layers is established.
