Installation of nanostructured metal films with tailored optical properties is of high importance in many areas of modern science and technology. Aluminum (Al) nanostructures for instance are very promising for surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) due to their wide tuneability of the plasmon resonance [1]. When depositing metal by sputter deposition on a nanostructured diblock copolymer substrate, a different adatom mobility on the two polymer blocks leads to selective wetting of one block and thus to an imitation of the polymer structure by the metal atoms [2,3]. We report on the sputter deposition of Al on a PS-b-PMMA diblock copolymer thin film and its two constituent homopolymers PS and PMMA by means of grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS). Cluster growth kinetics on the diblock and the homopolymer films is analyzed and compared to ex situ samples investigated by AFM. [1] Gérard et al, J. Phys. D: Appl.
