3. We neglect throughout this paper the statistical high freqency roughness of the substrate and copolymer films. This roughness is always on the order of 5 Å and is therefore negligible.

20. Independently from the AFM pictures we did X-ray scattering measurements to confirm the anticonformal structures. From the particular phases of the intensity oscillations measured along the rods in reciprocal space, which are given by the lateral periodicity, we can rule out a conformal arrangement for the films shown in parts b and c of Figure 3 (see ref 11).

25. For very large film thicknesses, the degree of orientation of the lamellae parallel to the surface diminishes. In this case island formation is not that efficient and the roughness is attenuated as strong as in the conformal case.
