Abstract

Monolayers of dendritic polymers were prepared by covalent attachment to a silicon wafer surface. Field enhanced oxidation of the monolayers was performed on a silicon surface using scanning probe lithography (SPL) to create features with dimensions below 60 nm. The dendrimer films were found to be resistant to a wet HF etch, thus, allowed to produce a positive-tone image as the patterned oxide itself relief features are etched away.
