- block copolymers it is possible to structure the arrangement of the constituent blocks of the copolymers, by phase segregation between the blocks thus forming nano-domains, at scales of less than 50 nm. Because of this ability to nanostructure, the use of block copolymers in the fields of electronics or optoelectronics is now well known.
- block copolymer films especially based on Polystyrene-i-poly (methyl methacrylate), hereinafter noted PS-b-PMMA, appear as solutions. very promising because they allow to create patterns with good resolution.
- a block of the copolymer In order to use such a block copolymer film as an etch mask, a block of the copolymer must be selectively removed to create a porous film of the residual block, the patterns of which can be subsequently transferred by etching to an underlying layer.

The synthesized copolymer is then a copolymer of the PS-DPE-PMMA type.
- the nano-domains must be oriented perpendicularly to the surface of the underlying layer.

- phase segregation factor again referred to as the Flory-Huggins interaction parameter and denoted " ⁇ ".
- This parameter makes it possible to control the size of the nano domains. More particularly, it defines the tendency of blocks of the block copolymer to separate into nano-domains.
- the product ⁇ , the degree of polymerization N, and the Flory-Huggins parameter ⁇ give an indication of the compatibility of two blocks and whether they can separate. For example, a diblock copolymer of strictly symmetrical composition separates into micro-domains if the product ⁇ is greater than 10.49. If this product ⁇ is less than 10.49, the blocks mix and the phase separation is not observed at the observation temperature.
- US Patents 8304493 and US 8450418 describe a process for modifying base block copolymers, whose interaction parameter ⁇ is high, as well as modified block copolymers. These block copolymers are modified to reduce the value of the Flory-Huggins para cast interaction parameter, such that the block copolymer can be structured in nano-domains of small sizes with slower kinetics. More particularly, these documents seek to reduce the Flory-Huggins parameter ⁇ of a block copolymer of PS-b-PDMS (polystyrene -block-poly (dimethylsiloxane)) whose nano-domains are oriented parallel to the surface on which they are deposited. The assembly kinetics of the block copolymers described in these documents, however, remain very slow since they can last a few hours, typically up to 4 hours.
- PS-b-PDMS polystyrene -block-poly (dimethylsiloxane)

- the nano-structuring process must also allow a very fast organization of the block copolymer with organizational kinetics of the order of 1 to a few minutes and, at a so-called annealing temperature, lower than the degradation temperature. of the polymer.
- the invention also aims at providing a nano-structured nanostructured block copolymer film, obtained from a base block copolymer, having a molecular mass greater than 50 kg / mol, and preferably greater than 100 kg. / mol and less than 250kg / mol, and at least one block of which comprises styrene and at least one block comprises methyl methacrylate, said copolymer being modified in order to nanostructure with a high period, with a kinetics of organization fast blocks and / or at a temperature below the degradation temperature of the copolymer.
- a nano-structured nano-structured block copolymer film obtained from a base block copolymer having a molecular weight greater than 50 kg / mol, and preferably greater than 100 kg / mol and less than 250 kg / mol, and at least one block comprises styrene and at least one other block comprises methyl methacrylate
- said block copolymer film being characterized in that the styrene-based block is formed by a copolymer of styrene and diphenyl ethylene (DPE), allows a value ⁇ to be obtained in the desired range and makes it possible to obtain nano domains with a high Lo period, typically greater than 30 nm, while permitting organization at a temperature lower than that required to organize the blocks of the copolymer at base blocks, i.e. unmodified PS-b-PMMA, and retaining fast kinetics of organization with reduced defectivity compared
- the invention also relates to a method for controlling the period of nano-structuring in nano-domains of a block copolymer film, from a base block copolymer having a higher molecular weight. at 50 kg / mol, and preferably greater than 100 kg / mol and less than 250 kg / mol, and at least one block of which comprises styrene and at least one other block comprises methyl methacrylate, said process being characterized in that includes the following steps:

- the term "monomer” as used refers to a molecule that can undergo polymerization.
- polymerization refers to the process of converting a monomer or a mixture of monomers into a polymer.

- miscibility refers to the ability of two compounds to mix completely to form a homogeneous phase.
- the principle of the invention consists in modifying the chemical structure of a PS-b-PMMA base block copolymer, while keeping styrene and methyl methacrylate units in each block, by introducing diphenylethylene, also noted. subsequently DPE, during the polymerization reaction of the polystyrene block.
- This introduction of diphenylethylene into the polystyrene-based block induces a change in the mobility of the structure of the P (S-co-DPE) -i -PMMA block copolymer obtained.
- the chain length of the obtained block copolymer P (S-co-DPE) -i -PMMA will be chosen according to the period Lo nano-structuring desired. Incorporation of DPE into the PS block gradually modulates the value of the product ⁇ for the nano-structured block copolymer film. To determine the level of DPE to be incorporated into the PS block, it will be possible to use abacuses to know the relationship between the DPE content in the block copolymer and the product ⁇ on the one hand, and between the degree of polymerization N and the period Lo on the other hand.
- This modification of the structure of the block copolymer according to the invention makes it possible to modulate the product ⁇ around a high value, typically greater than 10, in order to allow nano-structuring of the nano-domain block copolymer, with a period L0 greater than 30 nm and even more preferably greater than 50 nm and less than 100 nm, while allowing a fast organization of the blocks (from 1 to a few minutes) at a reduced annealing temperature compared with an unmodified polymer of PS-b-PMMA of identical chain length.

- the block copolymer should preferably satisfy the relationship 10 ⁇ N (a + b / T) ⁇ 200.
- T represents the organization temperature of the block copolymer, that is to say the annealing temperature at which a phase separation between the different blocks is obtained, an orientation of the nano-domains obtained and a reduction in the number of defects .
- This modification of the contributions influences the temperature and the kinetics of annealing allowing the organization of the blocks. Due to this modification, the temperature T can then be lowered relative to the annealing temperature of a base copolymer, that is to say unmodified PS-b-PMMA. It is preferably less than or equal to 230 ° C, and even more preferably, it is less than or equal to 210 ° C. Such an annealing temperature is lower than the degradation temperature of the block copolymer and therefore avoids the appearance of a very high concentration of defects in the modified block copolymer, at the time of its organization in nano-domains, and which can sometimes lead to destruction of the polymer.
- the backbone modification of the block copolymer does not disturb the properties related to the chemistry of the base block copolymer, that is to say unmodified PS-b-PMMA.

- Obtaining this modified block copolymer can also be envisaged by grafting the various blocks pre-synthesized between them, via the reactive ends.
- the copolymerization reaction of the P (S-co-DPE) block and the PMMA block can be carried out by the usual techniques, that is to say controlled radical polymerization, anionic polymerization or ring opening polymerization. etc ....
- any controlled radical polymerization technique may be used, whether NMP ("Nitroxide Mediated Polymerization"), RAFT ("Reversible Addition and Fragmentation Transfer”), ATRP ("Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization"), INIFERTER ("Initiator-Transfer-Termination”), RITP ("Reverse lodine Transfer” Polymerization "), ITP (“ lodine Transfer Polymerization).

- the invention also relates to a method for controlling the nanostructuring period of a block copolymer film from a base block copolymer of PS-PMMA. Such a method makes it possible to control the nanostructuring period by modulating the phase segregation ( ⁇ ) between the blocks of this block copolymer whose chemical structure is modified.
- the modified block copolymer following the synthesis of the modified block copolymer, it is applied in solution on a surface, to form a film.

- the desired structuring requires the prior preparation of the surface on which the copolymer solution is deposited in order to control the energy. of surface.
- a random copolymer forming a neutralization layer is deposited on the surface, the monomers of which may be identical in whole or in part to those used in the block copolymer that is to be deposited.
- Mansky et al. Science, vol 275 pages 1458-1460, 1997) describes this technology well, now well known to those skilled in the art.

- the heat treatment is carried out which allows the block copolymer to organize properly, that is to say to obtain in particular a phase separation between the nano-domains, an orientation of the domains while obtaining a significantly reduced defectivity compared to that obtained with unmodified block copolymers of identical chain lengths.
- This annealing step allowing nano-structuring of the block copolymer film, can be carried out under a solvent atmosphere, or thermally, or by a combination of these two methods.

- the Applicant has furthermore found that the introduction of DPE into the PS block, with a content preferably of between 1% and 25% and preferably of between 1% and 10%, advantageously makes it possible to to obtain nondefactory nanostructuring for larger film thicknesses than those obtained using the unmodified block copolymer. These thicknesses may be greater than or equal to 30 nm and even greater than 40 nm without appearance of defects. With an unmodified block copolymer, it is not possible to arrive at such thicknesses without defects.
- a high thickness allows better control of the lithography process, because the transfer of the nano-structured patterns in the substrate by etching (dry or wet) is strongly dependent on the thickness of the films used as masks: films of which thickness is less than 40 nm will not allow effective transfer into the substrate, while thicker films will lead to larger form factors.

- the modified block copolymer has a reduced defectivity compared to the same unmodified block copolymer, even at very large thicknesses. Such a block copolymer therefore allows better control of the lithography process.
- the invention further relates to a nano-lithography mask obtained from the modified block copolymer, deposited on a surface to be etched according to the nano-structuring process.
- the film thus deposited on the surface comprises nano-domains oriented perpendicularly to the surface to be etched and has a period greater than or equal to 30 nm, and preferably greater than 50 nm and less than 100 nm.
