  • TCO Coating and Coated Substrate for High Temperature Applications
    Publication number: 20130095292
    Abstract: A glass substrate is provided having a major surface on which there is a coating comprising a transparent conductive oxide film. The TCO film may comprise aluminum-doped zinc aluminum oxide (“AZO”) or tin-doped indium oxide (“ITO”). When the coated glass substrate is heat-treated, the coating exhibits desirable sheet resistance and absorption values. In some cases, the coating comprises a first transparent dielectric film, a second transparent dielectric film, a transparent conductive oxide film comprising AZO or ITO, and a third transparent dielectric film.

  • SODIUM ACCUMULATION LAYER FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICES
    Publication number: 20130017381
    Abstract: A coated substrate useful as a transparent electrode for electrical or optical devices is provided. The coated substrate includes a transparent sodium-containing substrate with a protective layer disposed over the transparent sodium-containing substrate. Characteristically, the protective layer has a thickness of at least 400 angstroms and comprises aluminum oxides and silicon oxides. An electrically conductive layer is disposed over the protective layer. In other variations, devices incorporating such coated substrates are provided.
