The invention relates to a method for rapidly corroding and patterning an 
indium tin oxide (ITO) surface by using an electrochemical technology, belonging to the fields of 
electrochemistry and micro-nanotechnologies. Aiming at the problem of the traditional ITO-corroding method, the method for rapidly corroding and patterning the 
indium tin oxide surface by using the electrochemical technology, provided by the invention, comprises the steps as follows: (1) washing the ITO surface; (2) pressing a used 
photoresist into a protective film on an ITO substrate by using a plastic-envelop 
machine, directly placing a 
mask of a used pattern, performing 
ultraviolet exposure and developing, and forming and washing to form a needed pattern; (3) corroding exposed ITO part of the 
photoresist on the ITO surface with diluted 
hydrochloric acid as a corrosive liquid by using 
cyclic voltammetry or 
chronoamperometry and the electrochemical technology; and (4) washing an electrochemically corroded ITO 
glass sheet by using an alkali solution, removing a protective 
photoresist film; and 
drying by using N2 to obtain a patterned ITO surface. The method for rapidly corroding and patterning the 
indium tin oxide surface by using the electrochemical technology has the advantages of simplicity in operation, high speed, good corrosive effect, clearness of borders, low cost and the like.
