Hello shifeng, Try to break up the deposition in steps - the grain size is related to the layer thickness in one step, so with small wait times you introduce a slight oxide layer and disrupt growth.

The gain size of Al is up to 50nm. I just wonder if there is any method to reduece the gain size of Al on the substrate. Thanks for sharing any information. shifeng
