USE OF TOPOGRAPHY TO DIRECT ASSEMBLY OF BLOCK COPOLYMERS IN GRAPHO-EPITAXIAL APPLICATIONS

A method is provided for forming a patterned topography on a substrate. The substrate is provided with features formed atop that constitute an existing topography, and a template for directed self-assembly (DSA) surrounds the exposed topography. Further to the method, the template is filled with a b...

Zusammenfassung:A method is provided for forming a patterned topography on a substrate. The substrate is provided with features formed atop that constitute an existing topography, and a template for directed self-assembly (DSA) surrounds the exposed topography. Further to the method, the template is filled with a block copolymer (BCP) to cover the exposed topography, and then the BCP is annealed within the template to drive self-assembly in alignment with the topography. Developing the annealed BCP exposes a DSA pattern immediately overlying the topography.
