Popis: Although there is strong theoretical and experimental evidence for electron-hole superfluidity in separated sheets of electrons and holes at low $T$, extending superfluidity to high $T$ is limited by strong 2D fluctuations and Kosterlitz-Thouless effects. We show this limitation can be overcome using a superlattice of alternating electron- and hole-doped semiconductor monolayers. The superfluid transition in a 3D superlattice is not topological, and for strong electron-hole pair coupling, the transition temperature $T_c$ can be at room temperature. As a quantitative illustration, we show $T_c$ can reach $270$ K for a superfluid in a realistic superlattice of transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers.
