Hi,



In my lab, my friend used a method different from yours to plating a Ni
layer on polymer film. But not trying on SiO2 or Silicon Nitride. But I
am figuring that his method should be working.



Check the paper "Electroless Nickel-Plated UV-Embossed Microstructured
Surface with Very High Aspect Ratio Channels" in Langmuir



Good luck
