The initial ultra thin Sb films during photocathode process were investigated on multiple substratesbased on different applications. The real-time X-ray scattering and post-growth X-ray reflectivity and diffractionmeasurement were performed and analyzed. Experiment results indicate that Sb deposition performs a phase changefrom amorphous to crystalline, the critical thicknesses are different on B33 float glass, Si and Mo. Two methods wereapplied for film thickness calculation from X-ray scattering data, and they agree well with thickness monitor result. Sbfilms deposited on different substrates show similar final film roughnesses. The real time x-ray study indicates that theinitial Sb layer deposition process on different substrate has different structure during deposition, the optimizedthickness of the initial Sb layer may varies depends on the substrate. This study also paved the road for further study ofthe more complex alkali metal vapor diffusion process in photocathode growth.
