The invention provides transparent conductive coatings based on indium tin oxide. The coating has an oxide overcoat, such as an alloy oxide overcoat. In some embodiments, the coating further includes one or more overcoat films comprising silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon dioxide, or titanium dioxide.

Alloy oxide overcoat indium tin oxide coatings, coated glazings, and production methods

The invention provides a glazing sheet and a coating on the glazing sheet. The coating comprises, in sequence moving outwardly from the glazing sheet, a dielectric base coat comprising oxide film, nitride film, or oxynitride film, a first infrared-reflective layer, a first nickel-aluminum blocker layer in contact with the first infrared-reflective layer, a first dielectric spacer coat comprising an oxide film in contact with the first nickel-aluminum blocker layer, a second infrared-reflective layer, a second nickel-aluminum blocker layer in contact with the second infrared-reflective layer, a second dielectric spacer coat comprising an oxide film in contact with the second nickel-aluminum blocker layer, a third infrared-reflective layer, a third nickel-aluminum blocker layer in contact with the third infrared-reflective layer, and a dielectric top coat comprising an oxide film in contact with the third nickel-aluminum blocker layer. Also provided are methods of depositing such a coating.

Nickel-aluminum blocker film multiple cavity controlled transmission coating

The invention provides transparent conductive coatings based on indium tin oxide. In some embodiments, the coating includes two indium tin oxide films and two nickel alloy films. Also provided are laminated glass assemblies that include such coatings.

Low solar heat gain coatings, laminated glass assemblies, and methods of producing same

The invention provides a glazing sheet and a low-emissivity coating on the glazing sheet. The low-emissivity coating comprises, in sequence moving outwardly from the glazing sheet, a layer comprising oxide film, nitride film, or oxynitride film, an infrared-reflective layer, a nickel-aluminum blocker layer, and an oxide layer. Also provided are methods of depositing such a low-emissivity coating.

Nickel-aluminum blocker film controlled transmission coating

A method of depositing coating onto both sides of a substrate is provided, which includes steps of upwardly sputtering one or more lower targets to deposit a sacrificial coating onto a second surface and downwardly sputtering one or more upper targets to deposit a first functional coating onto a first surface, washing the substrate with one or more washers to remove the sacrificial coating from the second surface while leaving intact the first functional coating on the first surface, and downwardly sputtering the one or more upper targets to deposit a second functional coating onto the second surface.

Method of coating both sides of a substrate using a sacrificial coating

The invention provides a glazing sheet and a low-emissivity coating on the glazing sheet. The low-emissivity coating comprises, in sequence moving outwardly from the glazing sheet, a layer comprising oxide film, nitride film, or oxynitride film, an infrared-reflective film, a nickel-aluminum blocker film, and an oxide film. Also provided are methods of depositing such a low-emissivity coating.

Nickel-aluminum blocker film low-emissivity coatings

The invention provides transparent conductive coatings based on indium tin oxide. The coating has a tin oxide overcoat. In some embodiments, the coating further includes one or more overcoat films comprising silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or silica. The coating and its films have compositions, thicknesses, and properties that simultaneously produce low sheet resistance and high visible transmission, preferably together with neutral color properties and good durability.

Tin oxide overcoat indium tin oxide coatings, coated glazings, and production methods

The invention provides emission control coatings. The coating includes a transparent conductive film over which there is an oxygen barrier film. In some embodiments, the transparent conductive film comprises indium tin oxide and the oxygen barrier film comprises silicon nitride.

High quality emission control coatings, emission control glazings, and production methods

The invention provides a substrate bearing a low-maintenance coating. In some embodiments, the coating includes a low-maintenance film that includes both titanium oxide and tungsten oxide. The invention also provides methods and equipment for depositing such coatings.
