ABSTRACTLocal control of domain orientation in diblock copolymer thin films is demonstrated through the use of external electric fields. Thin films of a polystyrene-polymethylmethacrylate diblock copolymers, denoted P(S-b-MMA), were spin coated onto silicon nitride membrane substrates with prefabricated in-plane electrodes, forming cylindrical PMMA microdomains. Films annealed under an applied electric field (E ≤ 37V/μm) at 250°C for 24h under an argon atmosphere showed an alignment of the cylindrical microdomains parallel to the electric field lines. A quantitative measure of the degree of alignment was obtained by correlating the local field strength, E, and direction with the observed cylinder orientation. The alignment was found to saturate above E≈30V/μm, and to decrease rapidly as E falls below this value.
