Design rules for block copolymer (BCP) materials used in directed self-assembly (DSA) to meet the constraints for manufacturing were defined in a combined experimental and theoretical approach to quantitative three-dimensional characterization of nanoscale structure and analysis of defect annihilation kinetics and mechanisms. Subsequently we developed a materials platform based on (A-block-(B-random-C) architectures to satisfy those design rules to enable current and future patterning resolution requirements. We realize feature size-specific BCPs (18 to 8 nm full pitch) with balanced block surface energies between blocks for thermal annealing, controllable segregation strength for simultaneous optimization of defectivity and dimensional uniformity, and etch selectivity.
