The present invention relates to a silicon mold device for production of an optical element in a high temperature environment and a preparation method thereof. The silicon mold device utilized in this invention features a symmetrical structure, ensuring uniform deformation during heating to mitigate eccentricity issues. Additionally, a stepped silicon mold core is employed and secured by applying force through an electrode pressure plate, thereby enhancing overall parallelism. Support columns assist in the closure and alignment of the upper and lower molds. Each support column can be individually adjusted for parallelism, facilitating the enhancement of precision and reliability in the preparation of optical elements.
