You have to design the slots bigger, maybe 0.4 or 0.5, you have to try it. The slots behave like holes in an object, they also become smaller when printing.

Vertical slots or horizontal slots? If they are horizontal slots you can play with the "horizontal expansion" parameter and set that to a negative value. Also make sure the slots are visible in cura preview before printing anything.
If the slots are on the bottom layer this is the hardest layer to control to that precision. You will need to mess with the "initial layer horizontal expansion" and level the machine extremely carefully (to 0.02mm accuracy potentially which is very difficult).
But it is possible to create 0.1mm slots.
Showing us a picture of your model may help us understand better.
