Block Copolymer Lithography
Abstract
This Perspective addresses the current state of block copolymer lithography and identifies key challenges and opportunities within the field. Significant strides in experimental and theoretical thin film research have nucleated the transition of block copolymers “from lab to fab”, but outstanding questions remain about the optimal materials, processes, and analytical techniques for first-generation devices and beyond. Particular attention herein is focused on advances and issues related to thermal annealing. Block copolymers are poised to change the traditional lithographic resolution enhancement paradigm from “top-down” to “bottom-up”.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
