Abstract

Self-assembly is an effective strategy for the creation of periodic structures at the nanoscale. However, because microelectronic devices use free-form design principles, the insertion point of self-assembling materials into existing nanomanufacturing processes is unclear. We directed ternary blends of diblock copolymers and homopolymers that naturally form periodic arrays to assemble into nonregular device-oriented structures on chemically nanopatterned substrates. Redistribution of homopolymer facilitates the defect-free assembly in locations where the domain dimensions deviate substantially from those formed in the bulk. The ability to pattern nonregular structures using self-assembling materials creates new opportunities for nanoscale manufacturing.

  26. The lamellar spacing of the ternary block copolymer–homopolymer blends can be controlled over a wide range of values by changing the volume fraction of homopolymer. Little is known about their behavior in the form of thin films but previous studies of phase diagrams and morphology in the bulk ( 34 35 ) provide useful insights.
