  • Publication number: 20060210783
    Abstract: A substrate is treated so as to improve anti-reflection (AR) characteristics of a resulting coated article. In certain example embodiments, a glass substrate may be treated via ion implantation to increase a refractive index (n) value in a surface region thereof. In other example embodiments, an index-graded coating (single or multi-layer) may be formed on the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20060159932
    Abstract: A ceramic target is used in sputter-depositing a contact layer adjacent an infrared (IR) reflecting layer in certain example embodiments. For example, a ZnOx ceramic target may be used in sputter-depositing a zinc oxide inclusive layer over and/or under a silver based IR reflecting layer in certain embodiments. In certain example embodiments, the ceramic target may be doped with a non-metal such as F and/or B.

  • Publication number: 20060078746
    Abstract: A coated article is provided so as to have a fairly high visible transmission (TY or Tvis) to sheet resistance (Rs) ratio (i.e., a ratio Tvis/Rs). The higher this ratio, the better the coated article's combined functionality of providing for both. good solar performance (e.g., ability to reflect and/or absorb IR radiation) and high visible transmission. In certain example embodiments, coated articles herein may be heat treatable. Coated articles herein may be used in the context of insulating glass (IG) window units, architectural or residential monolithic window units, vehicle window units, and/or the like.
