A low-resistivity, doped zinc oxide coated glass article is formed by providing a hot glass substrate having a surface on which a coating is to be deposited, the surface being at a temperature of at least 400&#xb0; C. A zinc containing compound, an oxygen-containing compound and an aluminum- or gallium-containing compound are directed to the surface on which the coating is to be deposited. The zinc containing compound, oxygen-containing compound, and aluminum- or gallium-containing compound are mixed together for a sufficient time that an aluminum or gallium doped zinc oxide coating is formed on the surface at a deposition rate of greater than 5 nm/second.

Method of making low resisitivity doped zinc oxide coatings and the articles formed thereby

What is described and claimed is an atmospheric chemical vapor deposition method of making a low-resistivity, doped zinc oxide coated glass article, made by directing one or more streams of gaseous reactants, specifically a zinc containing compound, a fluorine containing compound, an oxygen containing compound, and at least one compound containing one or more of boron, aluminum, gallium and indium onto a surface of a heated glass substrate.

Method of making a low-resistivity, doped zinc oxide coated glass article and the coated glass article made thereby

A method of depositing a silicon oxide coating on hot glass at a temperature below 600&deg; C. comprising contacting the hot glass with a gaseous mixture of a source of silicon and oxygen enriched with ozone. Preferably, the hot glass in the form of a hot glass ribbon is contacted with the gaseous mixture during the float glass production process downstream of the float bath. Preferred sources of silicon are silanes, alkylsilanes, alkoxysilanes and siloxanes.

Method of depositing a silicon oxide coating on glass and the coated glass

A method of depositing a silicon oxide coating on a hot glass substrate by chemical vapor deposition which comprises contacting the substrate with a silane and a phosphorus or boron ester, for example, triakylphosphite or trialkylborate, preferably triethylphosphite. Preferably, the method is performed during the formation of glass by the float glass production process.
