Aluminum nanostructured coatings are the promising alternatives to transparent semiconductors or metals. In this paper we describe the fabrication of these coatings by electrochemical anodization of aluminum deposited by magnetron sputtering on a glass substrate. The process of anodization is strictly controlled by process parameters followed by selective chemical etching of aluminum oxide. Optical transmittance and surface resistance depend on the mesh dimensions of Al nanostructured coatings and have been investigated theoretically and experimentally.
