Abstract

In an example, a method may include closing an opening in a structure with a sacrificial material at a first processing tool, moving the structure from the first processing tool to a second processing tool while the opening is closed, and removing the sacrificial material at the second processing tool. The structure may be used in semiconductor devices, such as memory devices.
