Abstract: A coated glass article which may be heat strengthened with reduced variability in sheet resistance is disclosed. A multi-layer coating is formed on a glass substrate including a barrier applied on the glass substrate, base layer of a substantially undoped metal oxide applied over the barrier layer, and an electrically conductive layer of a doped metal oxide applied directly on the base layer. The same source metal is used for the base layer and the electrically conductive layer.

Abstract: A process for depositing an antimony-containing coating upon a surface of a heated glass substrate includes dissolving an antimony halide in an organic solvent to form an antimony halide containing solution. This solution is then vaporized to form a gaseous antimony precursor. The gaseous antimony precursor is then directed toward and along the surface of the heated glass substrate. The antimony precursor is reacted at or near the surface to form an antimony containing coating.

Abstract: The present invention is an anti-reflective transparent article which includes a transparent substrate. The article also includes a first coating of metal oxide applied over the substrate. The first coating of metal oxide has a reflective index of about 1.8 to about 2.6. The article further includes a second coating of a metal oxide applied over the first coating of metal oxide. The second coating has a refractive index of about 1.44 to about 1.6. The reflectivity of the article, when measured at an angle of at least 50 degrees from normal, is at least three percentage points less than the reflectivity of the uncoated substrate at the same angle.

Abstract: A chemical vapor deposition process for laying down a tin or titanium oxide coating on a glass substrate through the use of an organic oxygen-containing compound and the corresponding metal tetrachloride. The organic oxygen compound is preferably an ester having an alkyl group with a &bgr; hydrogen in order to obtain a high deposition rate. The resulting article has a tin or titanium oxide coating which can be of substantial thickness because of the high deposition rates attainable with the novel process, and, in the case of titanium oxide coating possesses a desirable refractive index greater than 2.4. The coating growth rates resulting from the method of the present invention may be at least 130 Å per second.

Abstract: A color neutral absorbing film applied as a coating on a glass substrate. The film is an antimony/tin oxide alloy coating containing at least about five atomic percent antimony. The coating is suitable for use in anti-reflective coatings containing other metal oxides or mixed metal oxides to achieve a coated glass article having a visible light transmittance of 30% or greater and a reflectance of less than 5%.

Abstract: An anti-reflective glass article including a glass substrate, a first coating of a metal oxide and a second coating of a metal oxide. The first coating of metal oxide is applied over the substrate. The refractive index of the first coating of metal oxide ranges from 1.8 to 2.6. The thickness of the first coating is greater than l/(4*n), wherein l equals a design wavelength in the visible spectrum and n equals the refractive index of said first coating of metal oxide. The second coating of metal oxide is applied over the first coating. The second coating of metal oxide has a refractive index of about 1.45 to about 1.6 and a thickness of less than l/4(n).

Abstract: A glass article having a solar control coating is disclosed for use in producing heat reducing glass for architectural windows. The coated article includes a glass substrate, an iridescence-suppressing interlayer deposited on and adhering to the surface of the glass substrate. At least a first transparent coating deposited on and adhering to the surface of the iridescence-suppressing coating and at least a second transparent coating deposited on and adhering to the surface of the first transparent coating. The first transparent coating and the second transparent coating have a difference in refractive indices in the near infrared region greater than a difference in the refractive indices in the visible region. The use of the article in architectural glazing results in a glazing that rejects solar energy in the near infrared region while permitting the transmittance of a high degree of visible light.

Abstract: The invention relates to the coating of flat glass with indium oxide. Indium oxide coatings, optionally doped, for example with tin, are produced in high yield by utilising a chemical vapour deposition process in which a gaseous mixture of a dialkylindium compound and a source of oxygen is directed on to the hot glass surface (The dialkylindium may also be used without pre-mixing but with separate supply of the oxygen source to the glass surface). The processes of the invention are especially suitable for application of a doped indium oxide coating to a continuous ribbon of glass on the production line on which the glass is formed, for use, for example, in architectural glazing applications utilising the low emissivity of the coating.

Abstract: Vaporized reactants, useful for chemical vapor deposition of a coating on the surface of a hot substrate, are prepared by initially heating a liquid coating precursor, injecting the liquid coating precursor into a vaporization chamber, simultaneously admitting a blend gas into the vaporization chamber, heating the liquid and blend gas to cause the liquid to vaporize at a temperature below its standard vaporization temperature, and thoroughly mixing the coating precursor vapor and blend gas, to produce a stream of vaporized reactant for pyrolytic decomposition at the surface of the hot substrate. A horizontal thin film evaporator provides a particularly suitable vaporization chamber for the present process.
