In layered superconductors understanding and controlling the coupling of superconducting layers is crucial due to its strong impact on their properties [1]. We examine the properties of [(SnSe)1+δ]m[NbSe2] superlattices, which allow for nearly arbitrary stacking sequences due to the growth technique [2]. Given this degree of freedom we study how coupling mechanisms enable the occurance of superconductivity. Temperature-dependent resistance measurements revealed superconductivity for NbSe2 interlayer distances of 2.4 nm or smaller. This behaviour is explained by the interplay of grain boundaries, cross-plane tunneling and systematical variation of the NbSe2 interlayer distances. Additionally, magnetoresistance hysteresis measurements were conducted to investigate the charge carrier states and microscopic superconducting structures. The results provide new insights into the coupling mechanisms of 2D superconductors.
