A correlation is revealed between texture, grain morphology, and impurity content in polycrystalline Al films. The 〈111〉 texture at low contamination level develops by restructuration while in the case of mixed 〈111〉 and 〈100〉 textures the 〈111〉 part develops by restructuration and the 〈100〉 part by competitive growth controlled by impurities.
