When LCD adhesion to ITO became a problem the cure was to abrade the ITO
with a velvet glove.  I kid you not.  Then a move to a wet chemical
adhesion promoter OCTES.  Then a move to vapor OCTES for better
adhesion.  If the OCTES which is only one molecule thick  would not
impede the plating process, I can offer you a free trial of vapor OCTES.

Subject: [mems-talk] Nickel electroplating on ITO glass

We need Nickle to be plated on a transparent substrate. Seems plating on
ITO renders bad adhesion.

Does anyone have any idea about the possibility of electroplating Ni on
ITO glass?  Specifically, how to improve the adhesion?

Thanks
