Abstract:
1. An apparatus for sequencing a block copolymer, the apparatus comprising: a chamber filled with a first medium and a second medium; and an atomic force microscope; wherein the atomic force microscope is configured to: traverse the block copolymer from the first medium to the second medium, wherein the block copolymer comprises first blocks and second blocks; measure a first measured force when the first blocks traverse from the first medium to the second medium; measure a second measured force when the second blocks traverse from the first medium to the second medium, the first measured force being different from the second measured force; identify the first blocks of the block copolymer based on measuring the first measured force; and identify the second blocks of the block copolymer based on measuring the second measured force.
