The plotted curves indicate a significant change of the Young´s moduli of the stripes on the undeveloped arrays from 870 ± 12 to 255 ± 53 MPa

• , while the Young´s moduli of the unexposed regions change by only about 35 ± 1 MPa. Moreover, the Young’s moduli of the stripes are much higher than those in the unexposed regions. These results show that the EBL exposure dose largely determines the stiffness of the stripes, but not that of the unexposed
