Abstract:
Methods for fabricating guide patterns and methods for fabricating integrated circuits using guide patterns are provided. In an embodiment, a method for fabricating a guide pattern includes forming a coating of a material with latent grafting sites and a photosensitive component configured to activate the latent grafting sites upon exposure over a substrate. The method exposes selected latent grafting sites in the coating to convert the selected latent grafting sites to active grafting sites. A grafting agent is bonded to the active grafting sites to form the guide pattern.
