  • Publication number: 20140197350
    Abstract: A method for producing a low-emissivity layer system on at least one side of the substrate includes the steps of providing the substrate, forming at least one low-emissivity layer on at least one side of the substrate by a deposition process and briefly tempering at least one deposited layer. The electromagnetic radiation used for briefly tempering a low-emissivity layer is adjusted in such a manner that the tempered layer has layer properties comparable to those of a conventionally heat-treated low-emissivity layer of a safety glass.

  • Patent number: 8377578
    Abstract: An infrared radiation reflecting transparent layer system on a transparent substrate and a method for producing same is provided. The infrared radiation reflecting layer system comprises an infrared radiation reflecting layer sequence which includes a selective function usually consisting of a noble metal, mostly silver, or an alloy thereof and having a good selective reflectivity in the infrared range. The layer sequence is supplemented by at least one transparent dielectric layer of an oxynitride of a metal, a semiconductor or a semiconductor alloy having a low to moderate refractive index arranged directly on the substrate or above the infrared radiation reflecting layer sequence.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20120263885
    Abstract: In method for the manufacture of a reflective layer system on a substrate with at least one metallic reflective layer, a dielectric, transparent layer is deposited on the substrate as a silicon oxide containing layer using a suitable PVD process. The coated substrate subsequently is transferred out of the vacuum and at least one metallic reflective layer is deposited via a wet-chemical process.

  • Patent number: 7785721
    Abstract: A layer system that filters sun and heat can be applied to glass by a vacuum coating process. The system comprises at least one series of metal layers in addition to a respective series of lower dielectric layers and a respective series of upper dielectric layers. At least one series of metal layers and one series of upper and lower dielectric layers are configured as a sandwich system, wherein one metal layer is encapsulated by an upper and a lower intermediate layer consisting of hypostoichiometrically nitrided or oxidized metal of the metal layer and sandwich systems of the series of layers contain individual sandwich layers of a stoichiometric and hypostoichiometric oxide or nitride of a metal or semiconductor. An oxygen or nitrogen deficit of the sandwich layers increases towards a neighboring sandwich system and the oxide and nitride layers are produced in a vacuum coating process.
