Abstract

Properties of new block copolymers systems, specifically designed to reach large periods for the features, are compared to the ones exhibited by classical PS-b-PMMA materials of same dimensions. Conducted studies, like free-surface defects analysis, mild-plasma tomography experiments, graphoepitaxy-guided structures, etch-transfer… indicate much better performances, in terms of achievable film-thicknesses with perpendicular features, defects levels, and dimensional uniformities, for the new system than for the classical PS-b-PMMA. These results clearly highlight unique and original solutions toward an early introduction of DSA technology into large lithographic nodes.
