Mesh Generation error

In my geometry, am using one very thin PDMS of size 10 nm. All other layers thickness are between 0.1 to 100 um.
I am getting intersecting face element error only for this layer.
If I keep the thickness of PDMS above 100 nm, then mesh is building. But, results are not as desired. As suggested in previous threads, I tried to divide domains and build separate mesh. It is not working.
I also tried with extremely fine element size. But, It is also not working.
Someone please help me.
Thank you in advance.

Monika,
A thin layer in 3D should be meshed using a swept mesh if at all possible. You may need to subdivide some domains to enable the swept mesh operation to work. Perhaps if you upload your model, more specific guidance could be given.
