In this work, improvement of the observation contrast was investigated by using a carbon film as the hard mask for pattern transfer of block copolymer (BCP) nanodots. The PS-PDMS (Poly (styrene-b-dimethyl siloxane)) block copolymer was adopted here. The observation contrast was greatly improved after transferring block copolymer (BCP) nanodots pattern to the underlying Si substrate through the carbon hard mask compared that before nanodot pattern transfer. Pattern transfer was also demonstrated to be very effective using carbon hard mask.

We investigated the fabrication of self-assembled nanodot array using poly (styrene)-poly (dimethyl-siloxane) (PS-PDMS) block copolymer and its transfer technique as a promising method to fabricate magnetic nanodot arrays for ultrahigh density recording. A carbon (C) layer with a high etch-resistance was especially adopted for magnetic nanodot fabrication. We fabricated PDMS nanodot using PS-PDMS block copolymer with a molecular mass of 11,700-2,900 g/mol. The nanodots were first transferred into silicon (Si) layer and then into C layer on Si substrate by carbon tetrafluoride (CF4) and oxygen (O2) reactive ion etching (RIE), respectively. We succeeded in fabricating C nanodots with a diameter of 10 nm and an average pitch of 20 nm.

Self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) provides an attractive nanolithography approach, which looks especially promising for fabrication of regular structures with characteristic sizes below 10 nm. Nevertheless, directed self-assembly (DSA) and pattern transfer for BCPs with such small features remain to be a challenge.
