Abstract
Density multiplication in nanopatterning is one of the most efficient techniques for increasing the resolution of the inherent patterns. Thus far, most of the density multiplication techniques integrate bottom-up (or top-down) patterning onto guide patterns prepared by the top-down approach. Although the bottom-up approach exhibits several advantages of cost-effectiveness and high resolution, very few studies have reported bottom-up patterning within a bottom-up template. In this study, the density multiplication of supramolecular cylinders into a block copolymer (BCP)-based guide lamellar pattern is demonstrated by the directed self-assembly (DSA) of a dendrimer and BCPs for the first time. Supramolecular cylinders of sub-5 nm scale are confined into trenches based on 50 and 100 nm scales of a lamellar polystyrene (PS)-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) BCP, which led to 10×-level to 20×-level density multiplication. Moreover, the orientation of the dendrimer is dependent on the dendrimer film thickness, and the corresponding mechanism is revealed. Notably, the strong guiding effect from the high-resolution guide patterns improved the ordering behavior in the highly curved pattern. Graphoepitaxy via the confinement of an ultrahigh-resolution dendrimer into the guide pattern based on BCP demonstrates promise as a density multiplication method for generating highly ordered nanostructures and complex structures.
