I want to deposit 20μm+ of aluminum onto ITO coated glass. My understanding from our clean room manager is that thermal, e-beam, and sputtering can only deposit 1-2μm. Electrolytic deposition of Al can create thicknesses of 20μm, but I do not have an argon/nitrogen glove box to conduct the process in an inert atmosphere, which all the papers I have found use. Is it possible to electroplate Al without an inert atmosphere, or do I need to invest in a glove box?
