Abstract
A microelectronic device includes a stack structure including insulative structures and conductive structures vertically alternating with the insulative structures. At least one of the insulative structures includes interfacial regions proximate interfaces between the at least one of the insulative structures and two of the conductive structures vertically neighboring the at least one of the insulative structures; and an intermediate region interposed between the interfacial regions. The intermediate region has a different material composition and relatively greater strength than the interfacial regions.
