Heterostructures of transition metal dichalcogenites (TMDCs) have characteristic optical properties like the interlayer excitons due to the band offset between two adjacent TMDC layers. Such heterostructures are promising candidates for photodetectors with higher efficiencies compared to a single TMDC layer, furthermore, the interlayer excitation enables photocurrents at photon energies below the direct bandgap of each of the layers. Here we present measurements on a MoS2/WS2 heterostructure at photon energies of around 800 meV, which is significantly below the interlayer exciton. The cross-shaped structure of our samples allows measurements of the heterostructure as well as each individual layer. While at high photon energies photocurrents are observed in each of the layers, the low photon energy only leads to a photocurrent when the heterostructure is illuminated. We interpret this effect to be caused by intraband absorption and subsequent interlayer tunneling.
