Method of making coated article with high visible transmission and low emissivity
First Claim
1. A method of making a coated article, the method comprising:
- providing a glass substrate;
using at least sputtering in forming at least the following layers on the glass substrate, from the glass substrate outwardly;
a) a layer comprising a metal oxide;
b) a layer comprising zinc oxide;
c) a layer comprising silver contacting the layer comprising zinc oxide b);
d) a layer comprising nickel chrome oxide contacting the layer comprising silver c);
e) a layer comprising tin oxide;
f) a layer comprising zinc oxide;
g) a layer comprising silver contacting the layer comprising zinc oxide f);
h) a layer comprising nickel chrome oxide; and
i) a layer comprising tin oxide;
wherein the coated article has a visible transmission of at least about 70% and the coating or layer system has a sheet resistance (Rs) of no greater than 5.0 ohms/square.

Abstract
A coated article that can be used in applications such as insulating glass (IG) units, so that resulting IG units can achieve high visible transmission of at least 70% (e.g., when using clear glass substrates from 1.0 to 3.5 mm thick), combined with at least one of: (a) SHGC no greater than about 0.45, more preferably no greater than about 0.40; (b) SC no greater than about 0.49, more preferably no greater than about 0.46; (c) chemical and/or mechanical durability; (d) neutral transmissive color such that transmissive a* is from −5.0 to 0 (more preferably from −3.5 to −1.5), and transmissive b* is from −2.0 to 4.0 (more preferably from 1.0 to 3.0); and (e) neutral reflective color from the exterior of the IG unit (i.e., Rg/Rout) such that reflective a* is from −3.0 to 2.0 (more preferably from −2.0 to 0.5), and reflective b* is from −5.0 to 1.0 (more preferably from −4.0 to −1.0). In certain example non-limiting embodiments, coated articles herein comprise:
substrate/TiOx/ZnOx/Ag/NiCrOx/SnOx/ZnOx/Ag/NiCrOx/SnOx/SixNy.
