The family of 2d materials offers a big variety of different material classes [1]. This includes the transition metal trichalcogenides (TMTC) of the form MX3, where M is a transition metal and X is a chalcogen [2, 3]. Here we exfoliated ZrSe3 into thin films and contacted them with electron beam lithography. These thin flakes were investigated by means of optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy and electrical measurements. During this, it was shown that the material degrades in ambient condition. Furthermore, an activation energy of about 0.6 eV was measured. Inducing charge carriers showed the samples to be n-doped semiconductors. Finally, a mean free path for the bulk material was determined.
