  Establishing ohmic contact to van der Waals semiconductors such as MoS2 is
crucial to unlocking their full potential in next-generation electronic
devices. Encapsulation of few layer MoS2 with hBN preserves the material's
electronic properties but makes electrical contacts more challenging. Progress
toward high quality edge contact to encapsulated MoS2 has been recently
reported. Here, we evaluate a contact methodology using sputtered MoRe, a Type
II superconductor with a relatively high critical field and temperature
commonly used to induce superconductivity in graphene. We find that the contact
transparency is poor and that the devices do not support a measurable
supercurrent down to 3 Kelvin, which has ramifications for future fabrication
recipes.
