ABSTRACT:
A method of patterning a substrate includes processing first regions of the substrate to form a first pattern, the first regions defining a second region between adjacent first regions, arranging a block copolymer on the first and second regions, the block copolymer including a first component and a second component, the first component of the block copolymer being aligned on the first regions, and selectively removing one of the first component and the second component of the block copolymer to form a second pattern having a pitch that is less than a pitch of a first region and an adjacent second region.
