Patent number: 9448345Abstract: A method for making low emissivity panels, including control the composition of a barrier layer formed on a thin conductive silver layer. The barrier structure can include an alloy of a first element having high oxygen affinity with a second element having low oxygen affinity. The first element can include Ta, Nb, Zr, Hf, Mn, Y, Si, and Ti, and the second element can include Ru, Ni, Co, Mo, and W, which can have low oxygen affinity property. The alloy barrier layer can reduce optical absorption in the visible range, can provide color-neutral product, and can improve adhesion to the silver layer.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2012Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignees: Intermolecular, Inc., Guardian Industries Corp.Inventors: Mohd Fadzli Anwar Hassan, Brent Boyce, Guowen Ding, Minh Huu Le, Zhi-Wen Wen Sun, Yu Wang, Yongli Xu

Patent number: 9408303Abstract: Coated articles are disclosed. The coated articles include a doped or alloyed silver layer sandwiched between two layers of transparent conductive oxide such as indium tin oxide (ITO). The doped silver or silver alloy layer can be thin, such as between 1. 5 to 20 nm and thus can be transparent. The doped silver or silver alloy can provide improved ductility property, allowing the conductive stack to be bendable. The transparent conductive oxide layers can also be thin, allowing the conductive stack can have improved ductility property.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2015Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Intermolecular, Inc.Inventors: Mohd Fadzli Anwar Hassan, Guowen Ding, Minh Huu Le, Minh Anh Nguyen, Zhi-Wen Sun, Guizhen Zhang

Patent number: 9321676Abstract: A bi-layer seed layer can exhibit good seed property for an infrared reflective layer, together with improved thermal stability. The bi-layer seed layer can include a thin zinc oxide layer having a desired crystallographic orientation for a silver infrared reflective layer disposed on a bottom layer having a desired thermal stability. The thermal stable layer can include aluminum, magnesium, or bismuth doped tin oxide (AlSnO, MgSnO, or BiSnO), which can have better thermal stability than zinc oxide but poorer lattice matching for serving as a seed layer template for silver (111).Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2015Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: Intermolecular, Inc.Inventors: Mohd Fadzli Anwar Hassan, Brent Boyce, Guowen Ding, Muhammad Imran, Minh Huu Le, Zhi-Wen Wen Sun, Yu Wang, Yongli Xu

Patent number: 9296651Abstract: A transparent dielectric composition comprising tin, oxygen and one of aluminum or magnesium with preferably higher than 15% by weight of aluminum or magnesium offers improved thermal stability over tin oxide with respect to appearance and optical properties under high temperature processes. For example, upon a heat treatment at temperatures higher than 500 C, changes in color and index of refraction of the present transparent dielectric composition are noticeably less than those of tin oxide films of comparable thickness. The transparent dielectric composition can be used in high transmittance, low emissivity coated panels, providing thermal stability so that there are no significant changes in the coating optical and structural properties, such as visible transmission, IR reflectance, microscopic morphological properties, color appearance, and haze characteristics, of the as-coated and heated treated products.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2014Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignees: Intermolecular, Inc., Guardian Industries Corp.Inventors: Mohd Fadzli Anwar Hassan, Richard Blacker, Guowen Ding, Muhammad Imran, Jingyu Lao, Minh Huu Le, Yiwei Lu, Zhi-Wen Wen Sun
