  • Publication number: 20100062245
    Abstract: The invention relates to a substrate (10), especially a transparent glass substrate, provided with a thin-film multilayer coating comprising an alternation of n functional layers (40) having reflection properties in the infrared and/or in solar radiation, especially metallic functional layers based on silver, and (n+1) dielectric films (20, 60), where n?1, said films being composed of a layer or a plurality of layers (22, 24, 62, 64), so that each functional layer (40) is placed between at least two dielectric films (20, 60), characterized in that at least one functional layer (40) includes a blocker film (30, 50) consisting of: on the one hand, an interface layer (32, 52) immediately in contact with said functional layer, this interface layer being made of a material that is not a metal; and on the other hand, at least one metal layer (34, 54) made of a metallic material, immediately in contact with said interface layer (32, 52).

  • Publication number: 20090197077
    Abstract: The invention relates to a substrate (10), especially a transparent glass substrate, provided with a thin-film multilayer comprising a functional layer (40) having reflection properties in the infrared and/or in solar radiation, especially a metallic functional layer based on silver or on a metal alloy containing silver, and two coatings (20, 60), said coatings being composed of a plurality of dielectric layers (24, 26; 64), so that the functional layer (40) is placed between the two coatings (20, 60), the functional layer (40) being deposited on a wetting layer (30) itself deposited directly onto a subjacent coating (20), characterized in that the subjacent coating (20) comprises at least one dielectric layer (24) based on nitride, especially on silicon nitride and/or aluminum nitride, and at least one noncrystalline smoothing layer (26) made from a mixed oxide, said smoothing layer (26) being in contact with said superjacent wetting layer (30).
