Copolymers Block Out New Approaches to Microelectronics at NIST

Caption: A novel technique for controlling the orientation of nanostructures (red and blue) is to use disordered, roughened substrates. Silica nanoparticles (orange), cast onto silicon substrates (grey), create 'tunable' substrates which can control self-assembly, despite inherent disorder
