Towards the little processing block copolymer template of nanometer self assembly morphology control method
Technical field: the present invention relates to a kind of at the little regulate and control method that adds needed die plate pattern in man-hour of nanometer.
Background technology: at present, preparation processing nanostructured has three kinds of different approach: a kind of is with macroscopical block material, by removing unnecessary part, be processed into nanostructured, usually be referred to as method from up to down, belong to traditional Micrometer-Nanometer Processing Technology, comprise photoetching technique and molecular beam epitaxy technique; Another kind is that the urstoff of microsystem is assembled into nano-device, is referred to as bottom-up method usually, belongs to the Micrometer-Nanometer Processing Technology of rising, and comprises manipulation mounting technology, molecular template technology and the chemical synthesising technology of scan-probe.More than two kinds of nanoprocessings all exist one can't evade the question: promptly when material comprised nanostructured, its construction unit quantity was surprising.If continue to use traditional processing mode structure is one by one processed,, go to consider then unworkable at all from required time and cost angle even feasible on the technology.No wonder the someone sighs with feeling: nano material is scientist's a dream, engineer's nightmare.The third approach be first kind with second method " self assembly " technology that combines.So-called self assembly is a kind of process that forms the supramolecular structure or the sight superstructure that is situated between under the foeign element condition of not having.The self assembly manufacture process is green, eco-friendly, and efficient is high.Because above plurality of advantages also comes from the needs that nanosecond science and technology develop, biogenic self-assembling technique has caused that in recent years scientist pays much attention to and become the most popular research field rapidly.1996, people such as Whitesides (being published in Science) at first utilized the ion etching technology that the spherical microcell pattern of block copolymer is copied to the thick SiN of 50nm

2The membrane material (see figure 1) indicates and utilizes block copolymer self assembly mould plate technique to carry out the beginning of the little New Machining Technology technology of nanometer.
As for the processing method, new Opportunity coexists with challenge for self-assembling technique: be how to utilize the self assembly template to prepare corresponding construction nano material (duplicating of die plate pattern) on the one hand; On the other hand be how artificial adjustment self assembly die plate pattern is wished the nanostructured (regulation and control of die plate pattern) of structure with regulation and control.Pattern duplicate known can the realization (ion, ozone, remove to ultraviolet selecting part material) by lithographic technique.The control technique of die plate pattern is at present also in urgent need to be improved, because it is the key of template nanofabrication technique: have only the template of regulating and control out required pattern just might copy desirable structure.The processing method that can regulate and control the block copolymer form at present mainly contains: three kinds of methods such as The high temperature anneal, extra electric field processing, shear treatment.Wherein shear treatment is not suitable for the morphology control that relates to template applications owing to handling thickness of sample requirement is arranged.Remaining two kinds of methods are limited in one's ability for morphology control on the one hand, and the orderly form that regulation and control obtain is unique, let alone carries out the small template to regulate of hundreds of nanometer; Treatment process more complicated on the other hand, required time is very long.
Summary of the invention: the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of simple, efficiently towards the little processing block copolymer template of nanometer self assembly morphology control method, concrete operation method is: block copolymer is dissolved in the solution that is mixed with 0.1~1wt% concentration in the xylene solvent, cast under the room temperature condition on the smooth substrate surface of atomic level level, naturally the volatilization film forming, this cast membrane and the substrate that adheres to are positioned in the closed container, be lined with material in the closed container with adsorption solvent steam ability, at room temperature behind good solvent that drips block copolymer material on the material with adsorption solvent steam ability of closed container bottom or selective solvent, build the lid sealing then rapidly, the dripping quantity of organic solvent reaches capacity vapor pressure solvent for being enough to, and takes out after 1 hour~7 days to be towards the little processing block copolymer template of nanometer.Freely regulating and control of template form is to realize carrying out micro-machined prerequisite of nanometer and basis by people's wish, the present invention has enriched the control technique of block copolymer nano template, compare with existing control technique, it has following advantage: 1. it has the diversity of regulation and control parameter: the present invention can use dissimilar organic solvents at different needs; Change vapor pressure solvent by regulating and controlling temperature; In addition, solvent also can produce different effects with the different of template time of contact, thereby affects the regulation and control result of template.In a word, the diversity of regulation and control parameter is determining the come out form of template of regulation and control to have diversity; 2. the regulation process height is controlled; 3. regulate and control template form high-sequential; 4. regulation and control do not need complex device, and technology is simple, and cost is low, the efficient height; 5. solvent vapo(u)r also has the function of etching in regulation and control, can obtain the various patterns of hundreds of nanoscale on substrate, and this point is significant for the process technology of following nanometer part; 6. by local etching and regulation and control, can also obtain being similar to the self assembly die plate pattern (see figure 6) of conical gear shape with method of the present invention, this means and utilize this class template can process the nanogears (see figure 7) in the future.
