It is shown that stacking disorder in layered semiconductors leads to a localization of the electronic wavefunctions over a finite number of layers. The electronic transport across the layers is described in terms of a hopping model. The experimentally observed strong anisotropy of the de‐conductivity for low temperatures is explained as a consequence of the stacking disorder.
