Sc/Si multilayer has excellent reflectivity at the wavelength of 35-50 nm and is expected to be fabricated for application in the solar EUV telescope, reflecting Ne VII line (46.5 nm) at normal incidence angle. For obtaining the stable narrow bandwidth, Sc/Si multilayers with different Sc thickness ratios were designed. And the structure and temporal stability of fabricated multilayers were studied. Sc/Si multilayers with a period thickness of about 24 nm were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering. The GIXR measurements indicated that interface diffusion was existed between Sc and Si layers. As the thickness ratio of the Sc increased, the width on Sc-on-Si interfaces increased. The surface roughness of these samples were no obviously different under AFM tests. After two months, the periodic structure and thickness were found to be stable. With a Sc thickness ratio value of 0.67, Sc/Si multilayer not only have the narrow bandwidth, but also have a good temporal stability.
