How to electroform a silver busbar on ITO coated glass?

I have an ITO coated glass plate in which I want to put a silver busbar around for contact. How do I put a busbar? Where can I buy the silver and how can I spray the silver around? Is there a standard spray equipment to use? Does silver needs heat treatment after the spray?

Hi, Gener. It would take you several months of full time work to develop such a process if you have not done plating before. I can't explain it all briefly enough to suit a public forum, but you could start with our recommended plating books. Fortunately there are plating jobshops who would be pleased to plate your ITO components for you. Good luck.

Regards,

Ted Mooney, P.E.
