The 2H molybdenum telluride (MoTe₂) photodetector structures were made with inserting 1T-MoTe₂ interlayer contacts. The optical response properties such as photoconductivity (PC) spectroscopy, illumination intensity dependent photoresponsivity, frequency dependent photocurrent, and time-resolved photoresponse were carried out in this study. In PC spectra, a much higher photoresponsivity of 2H-MoTe₂ were observed by inserting 1T-MoTe₂ interlayer contact. The frequency dependent photocurrent and time-resolved photoresponse investigations explore the carrier kinetic decay process of MoTe₂ with different electrode contact. The Schottky barrier heights (SBH) extracted by thermionic emission theory were also investigated by inserting 1T-MoTe₂ interlayer contacts. The results show the potential applicability for photodetection devices based MoTe₂ layered transition metal dichalcogenides semiconductors.
