The transition metal dichalcogenide MoTe 2 is fabricated into few‐layer field‐effect transistors that show hole conduction with a mobility of 2.04 V cm −2 s −1 . Four‐layer MoTe 2 devices have a high photoresponsivity of 6 A W −1 and a response time, at around 160 μs, over 100 times faster than previously reported, making them a strong candidate for high speed and high sensitivity photodetection.
