Abstract:
A disclosed example to modulate slit stress in a semiconductor substrate includes a first controller to, after obtaining a wafer stress measurement of the semiconductor substrate, control a first process to apply a first material to the semiconductor substrate based on the wafer stress measurement, the semiconductor substrate including a slit between adjacent stacked transistor layers, the first material coating walls of the slit to reduce a first width of the slit between the adjacent stacked transistor layers to a second width; and a second controller to control a second process to apply a second material to the semiconductor substrate, the second material to be deposited in the second width of the slit, the first material and the second material to form a solid structure in the slit between the adjacent stacked transistor layers.

Claim (Index 15):
An apparatus of  claim 14 , further including means for monitoring the at least one of the global stress or the local stress, the means for selecting the value for the material thickness parameter to select the value for the thickness parameter when the at least one of the global stress or the local stress satisfy at least one of a threshold global stress or a threshold local stress.
