Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a generalized method for producing a vertically oriented block copolymer film, a block copolymer film with controlled orientation obtained thereby, and a method for producing a self-assembled pattern. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to form a crosslinked layer, which is mechanically stable and undergoes no chemical change, by subjecting the block copolymer surface to plasma treatment using a filter. It is also possible to obtain a vertically oriented block copolymer film by annealing the block copolymer film having such a crosslinked layer. The method for producing a vertically oriented block copolymer film according to the present disclosure is advantageous in that it can be applied for general purpose regardless of the chemical structure, type and morphology of a block copolymer, and the method can be applied generally to the conventional directed self assembly process.
