Abstract
A method for making patterns on a substrate, includes forming an assembly guide on first and second areas of the substrate, the assembly guide having, compared to a reference surface, openings with an opening ratio in the first area greater than that of the second area; depositing a block copolymer layer on the substrate to entirely fill the assembly guide and form an over-thickness on the reference surface; assembling the block copolymer, resulting in an organised portion of the block copolymer layer inside the openings; thinning uniformly the block copolymer layer, until a thickness corresponding to the organised portion of the block copolymer layer is reached; eliminating one of the phases of the assembled block copolymer, resulting in a plurality of initial patterns extending into the layer of block copolymer; and transferring the initial patterns of the block copolymer layer into the substrate to form the final patterns.
