Silicon (Si)-containing block copolymers (BCPs) are promising candidates for directed self-assembly patterning applications and are able to access structures with critical dimensions less than 10 nm. Significant etch contrast between the blocks is required to integrate BCPs for patterning applications and form an initial topographical mask. For Si-containing BCPs, O2 plasma exposure can give high etch contrast between the blocks by forming a thin etch resistant silicon oxide (SiOx) surface layer from the Si-containing block. The authors have also found that H2 and N2/H2 plasmas can form etch resistant barrier layers from organosilicon polymers (OSPs). Photodegradation of the OSPs induced by H2 plasma-generated vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photons initiates the formation of this etch barrier layer. Fourier transform infrared transmission spectroscopy measurements show enhanced VUV-induced degradation in polymers with higher Si content due to cleavage of the methylsilyl bonds (Si-CH3) and subsequent carbon depl...
