It s Fullwidth at halfmaximum ( FWHM ) of XRD rocking curve is only 130arcsec and root mean square (RMS) roughness is 2. 021nm. U sed A ln as tem2 p late, A lgan film s with different A l fraction are grown. H igh resolution XRD measurement indicate that comp ressive strain which A ln temp late app ly to A lgan film s and tensile strain which come from coales2 cence of islands in A lgan film s increase with increasing A l fraction. W hen the A l fraction is about 0. 67, the tensile strain and the comp ressive strain is in the balance, the A lgan film has best quality.
