  • Large-size echelle grating has extremely high spectral resolution due to its large aperture and high diffractive order. Generally, echelle grating ruling is performed on a thick Al film. Consequently, the preparation of high-quality large-area thick Al films becomes one of the most important factors to realize a high-performance large-size echelle grating. In the thick Al films deposition process, substrate temperature is the most important technological parameter. In this paper, the thick Al films samples are prepared at different temperatures by electron-beam evaporation technique. Then, the influence of substrate temperature on the Al films quality are analyzed by means of an atomic force microscope and scanning electron microscope. It is found that the average grain size and surface roughness increase rapidly from 264.34 nm, 34.7 nm at 100℃ to 384.97 nm, 58.9 nm at 200℃ and 596.35 nm, 95.1 nm at 300℃. Experimental results show that with an increased substrate temperature, grain size and surface roughness increase sharply and the surface quality of thick Al films degrades seriously.
