Abstract

A method is provided for forming a film stack in which a first film including a first polymer is formed on a substrate. A second film, which can include a second polymer other than the first polymer, is formed to have an inner surface disposed on the first film. The second film can have a thickness at which a free energy of the second film would be negative if the second film were disposed directly on the substrate. Desirably, the resulting second film is substantially free of dewetting defects.
