Directed Self-Assembly of Block Copolymer, No1
/Description The PS-rich and neutral PS-b-PMMA block copolymer (BCP) films were spin coated on the neutral random copolymer hydroxyl-terminated PS-r-PMMA layers grafted on the native oxide and 50 nm thick PECVD amorphous silicon oxide layers. Relationship between the grafting density of BCP and surface density of hydroxyl moiety on silicon oxide is discussed. Furthermore, optimization of anneal...
متن کاملRole of Solvent Water in the Temperature-Induced Self-Assembly of a Triblock Copolymer.
Water-soluble triblock copolymers have received much attention in industrial applications and scientific fields. We here show that femtosecond mid-IR pump-probe spectroscopy is useful to study the role of water in the temperature-induced self-assembly of triblock copolymers. Our experimental results suggest two distinct subpopulations of water molecules: those that interact with other water mol...
متن کاملBlock copolymer self-assembly for nanophotonics.
The ability to control and modulate the interaction of light with matter is crucial to achieve desired optical properties including reflection, transmission, and selective polarization. Photonic materials rely upon precise control over the composition and morphology to establish periodic interactions with light on the wavelength and sub-wavelength length scales. Supramolecular assembly provides...
متن کاملDirected self-assembly of solvent-vapor-induced non-bulk block copolymer morphologies on nanopatterned substrates.
We report a study on directed self-assembly (DSA) with solvent annealing to induce the formation of non-bulk block copolymer microdomains on chemical patterns. Ultrathin films of symmetric polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) display morphologies of PMMA dots, stripes, and PS hexagons with increasing exposure time to acetone vapor, a PMMA-selective solvent. All three nanostru...
متن کاملBlock Copolymer Self Assembly during Rapid Solvent Evaporation: Insights into Cylinder Growth and Stability
Solvent evaporation has proven to be a remarkably successful tool for directing self-assembly in block copolymers, yet the microscopic mechanisms, processing history dependence and macroscopic control parameters influencing pattern selection remain poorly understood. Here, we leverage dynamical field theory simulations to clarify how copolymer self-assembly proceeds during evaporation. We find ...
