Using Cylindrical Domains of Block Copolymers To Self-Assemble and Align Metallic Nanowires

Chai, Jinan, Buriak, Jillian M.·2008·ACS Nano

Abstract

Block copolymer thin films can be used as soft templates for a wide range of surfaces where large area patterns of nanoscale features are desired. The cylindrical domains of acid-sensitive, self-assembled monolayers of polystyrene-poly(2-vinylpyridine) block copolymers on silicon surfaces were utilized as structural elements for the production of parallel metal nanowires. Metal ion loading of the P2VP block with simple aqueous solutions of anionic metal complexes is accomplished via protonation of this basic block, rendering it cationic; electrostatic attraction leads to a high local concentration of metal complexes within the protonated P2VP domain. A subsequent brief plasma treatment simultaneously removes the polymer and produces metallic nanowires. The morphology of the patterns can modulated by controlling solution concentration, deposition time, and molecular weight of the block copolymers, as well as other factors. Horizontal metallic nanoarrays can be aligned on e-beam lithographically defined silicon substrates within different shapes, via graphoepitaxy. This method is highly versatile as the procedures to manipulate nanowire composition, dimension, spacing, and orientation are straightforward and based upon efficient aqueous inorganic chemistry.

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.
