Proceedings ArticleDOI

Contact angles and structure/surface property relationships of immersion materials

TL;DR: In this article, the role of molecular structure on contact angles and hysteresis of a broad family of "hydrophobic" materials was investigated and an insight into the relationship between structure and contact angles for future immersion materials was presented.

Methods of forming block polymers for directed self-assembly

TL;DR: Block polymers as mentioned in this paper are formed by ring opening polymerization of a cyclic carbonate monomer using a polymeric initiator for the ROP that comprises repeating functionalized ethylene units.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and Characterization of Polycarbonate-containing All-organic High-χ Block Copolymers for Directed Self-assembly

TL;DR: Polystyrene-b-polytrimethylene carbonate (PSb-PTMC) block copolymer was synthesized using ring opening polymerization (ROP) of trimethylenes carbonate from hydroxyfunctional polystyrene (PS-OH) with diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) as the base catalyst as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial Control of the Self-assembled Block Copolymer Domain Orientation and Alignment on Photopatterned Surfaces.

TL;DR: The study of the effect of film thickness on photoacid diffusion by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopic suggested slower diffusion in thinner films, potentially enabling production of guidelines with sharper interfaces between unexposed and exposed lines, and thus, the DSA of PS-b-PTMSS on thinner pXST guidelines resulted in better alignment control.

Non-ionic photo-acid generating polymers for resist applications

TL;DR: In this paper, photo-acid generating polymers (PAG polymers) of the PAG monomers were prepared comprising sulfonate ester groups of N-hydroxide imides.
