“…As an example, the self-assembly of poly(2-vinylpyridine- b -dimethylsiloxane) was successfully performed using a thick fabric pad saturated with isopropyl alcohol, as presented in Figure S12. In addition, a hydrogel pad that can produce high-flux water vapor is shown in Figure S13.…”

While the uses of block copolymers (BCPs) with a high Flory-Huggins interaction parameter (χ) are advantageous for the improvement of resolution and line edge fluctuations of self-assembled nanoscale patterns, their slow chain diffusion results in a prolonged assembly time. Although solvent vapor annealing has shown great effectiveness in promoting the self-assembly of such BCPs, a practical methodology to achieve a uniform swelling level in wafer-scale BCP thin films has not been reported. Here, we show that a solvent-swollen polymer gel pad can be used as a highly controllable vapor source for the rapid, large-area (>200 mm in diameter) formation of sub-10-nm patterns from a high-χ BCP. The proximal injection of solvent vapors to BCP films and the systematic control of the swelling levels and temperatures can significantly boost the self-assembly kinetics, realizing the formation of well-aligned sub-10-nm half-pitch patterns within 1 min of self-assembly. Moreover, we show that the gel pad can be used for the shear-induced alignment of BCP microdomains in an extremely short time of ~5 s as well as for the generation of three-dimensional crossed-wire nanostructures with controlled alignment angles.
