Directed Self-Assembly of Block Copolymers for Nanolithography: Transcending Next Generation Integrated Circuit Nanomanufacturing Processes

Stoykovich, et al. present results of incorporating directed self-assembly of BCPs for the fabrication of isolated features, and critical IC geometries.  

The Frontline of Nanomanufacturing: Top Down Meets Bottom Up for Patterned Media Approaches to Magnetic Data Storage

The ability to create features using directed self-assembly from pre-patterned templates, as reported in two recent Science papers, may further address the needs of the integrated circuit industry ...

Fabrication of a nanoporous template from a diblock copolymer film - electric field alignment

An applied electric field aligns a cylindrical-phase diblock copolymer perpendicular to a substrate. One polymer block is removed by UV exposure and a chemical rinse to yield a nanoporous polymer ...

Pulse-reversed electrodeposition with QCM monitoring to make magnetic nanowires in a nanotemplate

Cobalt nanowires with high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are formed in a diblock copolymer film template using a pulse-reversed voltage with QCM monitoring. This in situ monitoring system along ...

Fabrication of a nanoporous template from a diblock copolymer film - neutral brush

A perpendicular orientation of cylindrical microdomains in diblock copolymer thin films is achieved by control over polymer-surface interactions. The block which forms cylindrical microdomains is ...

Fabrication of a nanoporous template from a diblock copolymer film - solvent annealing

An evaporation-induced flow in solvent cast block copolymer films can produce arrays of nanoscopic cylinders oriented normal to the surface and solvent annealing could markedly enhance the ordering ...
