Embodiments of the present technology may include a method of forming a stack of semiconductor layers. The method may include depositing a first silicon oxide layer on a substrate. The method may also include depositing a first silicon layer on the first silicon oxide layer. The method may include depositing a first silicon nitride layer on the first silicon layer. The method may further include depositing a second silicon layer on the first silicon nitride layer. In addition, the method may include depositing a stress layer on a side of the substrate opposite a side of the substrate with the first silicon oxide layer. The operations may form a structure of semiconductor layers, where the structure includes the first silicon oxide layer, the first silicon layer, the first silicon nitride layer, the second silicon layer, the substrate, and the stress layer. Other methods of reducing stress are described.

Embodiments of the present technology may include a method of forming a stack of semiconductor layers. The method may include depositing a first silicon oxide layer on a substrate. The method may also include depositing a first silicon layer on the first silicon oxide layer. The method may further include depositing a first silicon nitride layer on the first silicon layer. Depositing the first silicon nitride layer or a stress layer may include reducing stress in at least one of the first silicon layer, the first silicon oxide layer, or the substrate. In addition, the method may include depositing a second silicon layer on the first silicon nitride layer. The operations may form the stack of semiconductor layers, where the stack includes the first silicon oxide layer, the first silicon layer, the first silicon nitride layer, and the second silicon layer.

Example systems and methods for optimization and attribution of marketing resources are described. In one implementation, a method retrieves transaction data associated with one or more offline stores and user data of users that are exposed to a marketing campaign. The method also correlates the transaction data to the user data to measure marketing attribution and modify the marketing campaign.
