  • Method of making coated article with IR reflecting layer(s) using krypton gas
    Patent number: 7291251
    Abstract: A method of making a coated article is provided, where the coated article may be used in a window or the like and may have at least one infrared (IR) reflecting layer in a low-E coating. The IR reflecting layer may be of silver or the like. In certain example embodiments, at least krypton (Kr) gas is used in sputter-depositing a silver inclusive IR reflecting layer. It has been found that the use of Kr gas in sputtering Ag targets results in an IR reflecting layer having improved resistance and emittance properties.

  • Method of making coated article by sputtering cast target to form zinc oxide inclusive layer(s)
    Publication number: 20060144697
    Abstract: A coated article includes a coating which has a zinc oxide inclusive layer provided as a contact layer under and directly contacting an infrared (IR) reflecting layer of a material such as silver. It has been found that the emissivity (or emittance) of the coated article can be reduced by sputtering a cast target(s) to form the zinc oxide inclusive contact layer—as opposed to sputtering a target formed by plasma spraying or the like. Thus, it has unexpectedly been found that the emissivity and/or resistivity of an IR reflecting layer can be improved (i.e., lowered) by using a cast target to sputter-form the contact layer located immediately under the IR reflecting layer.
