摘要:
A stack of an organic planarization layer (OPL) and a template layer is provided over a substrate. The template layer is patterned to induce self-assembly of a copolymer layer to be subsequently deposited. A copolymer layer is deposited and annealed to form phase-separated copolymer blocks. An original self-assembly pattern is formed by removal of a second phase separated polymer relative to a first phase separated polymer. The original pattern is transferred into the OPL by an anisotropic etch, and the first phase separated polymer and the template layer are removed. A spin-on dielectric (SOD) material layer is deposited over the patterned OPL that includes the original pattern to form SOD portions that fill trenches within the patterned OPL. The patterned OPL is removed selective to the SOD portions, which include a complementary pattern. The complementary pattern of the SOD portions is transferred into underlying layers by an anisotropic etch.
摘要:
A method of forming a layered structure comprising a self-assembled material comprises: disposing a non-crosslinking photoresist layer on a substrate; pattern-wise exposing the photoresist layer to first radiation; optionally heating the exposed photoresist layer; developing the exposed photoresist layer in a first development process with an aqueous alkaline developer, forming an initial patterned photoresist layer; treating the initial patterned photoresist layer photochemically, thermally and/or chemically, thereby forming a treated patterned photoresist layer comprising non-crosslinked treated photoresist disposed on a first substrate surface; casting a solution of an orientation control material in a first solvent on the treated patterned photoresist layer, and removing the first solvent, forming an orientation control layer; heating the orientation control layer to effectively bind a portion of the orientation control material to a second substrate surface; removing at least a portion of the treated photoresist and, optionally, any non-bound orientation control material in a second development process, thereby forming a pre-pattern for self-assembly; optionally heating the pre-pattern; casting a solution of a material capable of self-assembly dissolved in a second solvent on the pre-pattern and removing the second solvent; and allowing the casted material to self-assemble with optional heating and/or annealing, thereby forming the layered structure comprising the self-assembled material.
