Abstract: A self-assembled nanostructure comprises first domains and second domains. The first domains comprise a first block of a block copolymer material and an activatable catalyst. The second domains comprise a second block and substantially without the activatable catalyst. The activatable catalyst is capable of generating catalyst upon application of activation energy, and the generated catalyst is capable of reacting with a metal oxide precursor to provide a metal oxide. A semiconductor structure comprises such self-assembled nanostructure on a substrate.

Abstract: A micro-optical component for generating an image, including a substrate and a lens. The substrate, includes a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface includes an aperture, and the second surface is arranged to be connected to a pixel array. The lens is placed on the first surface so as to cover the aperture. The focal point of the lens belongs to the second surface. The lens includes an obscuration element generating at the lens an obscured area and an unobscured area. The obscuration element is dimensioned to reduce the light transmittance towards the pixels for a fraction of the viewing angles only and at the same time. The obscured area is dimensioned so that the optical resolution of the lines is not smaller than the image resolution given by the size of the pixels.

Abstract: A method of forming nanostructures may include forming a block copolymer composition within a trench in a material on a substrate, wherein the block copolymer composition may comprise a block copolymer material and an activatable catalyst having a higher affinity for a first block of the block copolymer material compared to a second block of the block copolymer material; self-assembling the block copolymer composition into first domains comprising the first block and the activatable catalyst, and second domains comprising the second block; generating catalyst from the activatable catalyst in at least one portion of the first domains to produce a structure comprising catalyst-containing domains and the second domains, the catalyst-containing domains comprising the first block and the catalyst; and reacting a metal oxide precursor with the catalyst in the catalyst-containing domains to produce a metal oxide-containing structure comprising the first block and metal oxide.
