Abstract: Self-assembly provides the ability to create well-controlled nanostructures with electronic or chemical functionality and enables the synthesis of a wide range of useful devices. Diblock copolymers self-assemble into periodic arrays of microdomains with feature sizes of typically 10-50 nm, and have been used to make a wide range of devices such as silicon capacitors and transistors, photonic crystals, and patterned magnetic media(1-3). However, the cylindrical or spherical microdomains in diblock copolymers ge… Show more

“…Only a few polymer blocks have shown promising etch resistance, and most pattern transfer processes following BCP lithography necessitate a hard mask. Polymer blocks containing metals such as polyferrocenylsilanes (PFS) [49][50][51][52] or silicon such as PDMS [53][54][55] have enhanced resistance to plasma etching, and therefore a large etch contrast relative to organic blocks. However, since iron degrades transistor performance, its presence in semiconductor processing is generally undesirable, especially for front-end processes where the high-resolution capability of BCP lithography is most relevant.…”

“…14,15 Polyferrocenylsilane block copolymers have attracted widespread attention with respect to their self-assembly in the solid state to form metal-rich nanodomains. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] In addition, solution self-assembly of BCPs containing a solvophobic poly(ferrocenyldimethylsilane) (PFS) block have also been well-studied and have been found to favour the formation of morphologies with low interfacial curvature such as cylinders and platelets due to core crystallization. [24][25][26] Significantly, the core termini of the micelles remain active to further growth on addition of further molecularly dissolved BCP.…”

“…This novel structure enables the fabrication of inorganic ring arrays after removal of PS and P2VP. Chuang et al [131] reported the formation of arrays of PFS domains with square symmetry after solvent annealing of thin films of polyisoprene-b-polystyrene-b-polyferrocenylsilane (PIb-PS-b-PFS) triblock copolymers with volume fractions of 25%, 65% and 10%, respectively, and a subsequent transfer of the PFS pattern to a silica substrate by using RIE ( figure 16). Moreover, the DSA of triblock copolymers was demonstrated by using e-beam patterned hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) pillars [132].…”
