Methods for providing lithography features on a substrate by self-assembly of block copolymers
Abstract:
Causing a self-assemblable block copolymer (BCP) having first and second blocks to migrate from a region surrounding a lithography recess of the substrate and a dummy recess on the substrate to within the lithography recess and the dummy recess, causing the BCP to self-assemble into an ordered layer within the lithography recess, the layer having a first block domain and a second block domain, and selectively removing the first domain to form a lithography feature having the second domain within the lithography recess, wherein a width of the dummy recess is smaller than the minimum width required by the BCP to self-assemble, the dummy recess is within the region of the substrate surrounding the lithography recess from which the BCP is caused to migrate, and the width between portions of a side-wall of the lithography recess is greater than the width between portions of a side-wall of the dummy recess.
