In this paper, we study thegeneration of interfacefor the solution of the mass conserved Allen--Cahn equation involving a nonlocal integral term. We show that, for a rather general class of initial functions that are independent of, the solution generally develops a steep transition layer of thicknessat a certain time of order. In some cases, we prove that the thickness of the interface is exactly of order, which is the optimal thickness estimate. We note that the comparison principle does not hold for our equation because of the nonlocal term so that the methods that were employed in the earlier studies of the standard Allen--Cahn equation do not work. We will therefore take a different approach, which is based on the fine analysis of the long-time behavior of the corresponding nonlocal ODEs and some energy estimates.
