Sub-5 nm Pitch Lamellar Microdomains by Chemical Transformations
A method of fabricating microphase separated block copolymer thin films with ordered, sub-5 down to sub-3 nm full pitch lamellar microdomains.
Background:
Current photolithographic processes are generally unable to achieve size scale features in the single nanometer range, which is highly desirable for microelectronic and storage devices. While...
