Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures allow the combination of different material properties, e.g. non-trivial topology and superconductivity in order to create a topological superconducting state. We demonstrate a novel dry-transfer flip technique which we use to place atomically-thin layers of WTe2, a quantum spin Hall (QSH) system, on NbSe2, a vdW superconductor, while maintaining atomically clean surfaces and interfaces. Using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS), we demonstrate the presence of a proximity-induced superconducting gap in the WTe2 for thicknesses from a monolayer up to 7 crystalline layers. At the edge of the WTe2 monolayer, we show that the superconducting gap coexists with the characteristic spectroscopic signature of the QSH edge state [1].
