Disclosures of the present invention mainly describe a two-dimensional semiconductor device (TDSD), comprising: a two-dimensional semiconductor material (TDSM) layer, a superacid action layer and a superacid solution. The TDSM layer is made of a transition-metal dichalcogenide, and the superacid action layer is formed on the TDSM layer. Particularly, an oxide material is adopted for making the superacid action layer, such that the superacid solution is subsequently applied to the superacid action layer so as to make the superacid solution gets into the superacid action layer by diffusion effect. Experimental data have proved that, letting the superacid solution diffuse into the superacid action layer can not only apply a chemical treatment to the TDSM layer, but also make the TDSD have a luminosity enhancement. Particularly, the luminosity enhancement would not be reduced even if the TDSD contacts with water and/or organic solution during other subsequent manufacturing processes.

A method used in forming integrated circuitry comprises forming a stack comprising vertically-alternating first tiers and second tiers. A stair-step structure is formed into the stack. A first liquid is applied onto the stair-step structure. The first liquid comprises insulative physical objects that individually have at least one of a maximum submicron dimension or a minimum submicron dimension. The first liquid is removed to leave the insulative physical objects touching one another and to have void-spaces among the touching insulative physical objects. A second liquid that is different from the first liquid is applied into the void-spaces. The second liquid is changed into a solid insulative material in the void-spaces. Other embodiments, including structure, are disclosed.

In an embodiment, a method for etching a substrate having a silicon nitride layer includes etching the silicon nitride layer by dispensing a first treatment liquid having a set temperature and a set concentration onto the substrate heated to a set temperature, in which a second treatment liquid is additionally dispensed for a set period of time in an overlapping manner while the first treatment liquid is dispensed in the silicon nitride layer etching process.
