    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a pattern including first and second block phases is formed by self-assembling a block copolymer onto a film to be processed. The entire block copolymer present in a first region is removed under a first condition by carrying out energy beam irradiation and development, thereby leaving a pattern including the first and second block phases in a region other than the first region. The first block phase present in a second region is selectively removed under a second condition by carrying out energy beam irradiation and development, thereby leaving a pattern including the first and second block phases in an overlap region between a region other than the first region and a region other than the second region, and leaving a pattern of second block phase in the second region excluding the overlap region. The film is etched with the left patterns as masks.

    Abstract: Directionally oriented block copolymer films and zone annealing processes for producing directionally oriented block films are provided. The zone annealing processes include methods of inducing horizontally oriented block copolymers through a soft sheer process and methods of inducing vertically oriented block copolymers via sharp dynamic zone annealing. The zone annealing processes are capable of both small and large scale production of directionally oriented block films. The cold zone annealing processes are also capable of being combined with graphoepitaxy methods.

    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for reducing the number of defects in a directed self-assembled structure formed on a guiding pre-pattern (e.g., a chemical pre-pattern) on a substrate. A first layer comprising a first self-assembly material is applied onto the guiding pre-pattern, with the first self-assembly material forming domains whose alignment and orientation are directed by the guiding pre-pattern; as a result, a first self-assembled structure is formed. The first self-assembled structure is washed away, and a second layer comprising a second self-assembly material is then applied. The second self-assembly material forms a second self-assembled structure having fewer defects than the first self-assembled structure.

    Abstract: A method for preparing a patterned directed self-assembly layer for reducing directed self-assembly pattern defectivity using direct current superpositioning is provided. A substrate having a block copolymer layer overlying a first intermediate layer, said block copolymer layer comprising a first phase-separated polymer defining a first pattern and a second phase-separated polymer defining a second pattern in said block copolymer layer is provided. A first plasma etching process using plasma formed of a first process composition to remove said second phase-separated polymer while leaving behind said first pattern of said first phase-separated polymer is performed. A second plasma etching process to transfer said first pattern into said first intermediate layer using plasma formed of a second process composition is performed. In an embodiment, said first phase-separated polymer is exposed to an electron beam preceding, during, or following said first plasma etching process, or preceding or during said second plasma etching process.
