The invention relates to a multi-layer pyrolytic coating stack deposited on a tinted glass substrate to form a coated glass article exhibiting a desired combination of emissivity, visible light transmittance and solar heat gain coefficient. A method for depositing the multi-layer coating stack on the tinted glass substrate is also part of the invention.

The invention relates to an apparatus for depositing thin film coatings on a substrate. The deposition apparatus is designed to keep gaseous reactant materials to be deposited apart from one another in the deposition apparatus, by one or more separation devices and/or methods, but nevertheless, to allow the chemical reactants to mix and react at or near the substrate surface, rapidly enough to create a uniform film at commercially viable deposition rates.

Apparatus for depositing thin film coatings and method of deposition utilizing such apparatus

A coated glass article which may be heat strengthened with reduced variability in sheet resistance is disclosed. A multi-layer coating is formed on a glass substrate including a barrier applied on the glass substrate, base layer of a substantially undoped metal oxide applied over the barrier layer, and an electrically conductive layer of a doped metal oxide applied directly on the base layer. The same source metal is used for the base layer and the electrically conductive layer.

A process for depositing an antimony-containing coating upon a surface of a heated glass substrate includes dissolving an antimony halide in an organic solvent to form an antimony halide containing solution. This solution is then vaporized to form a gaseous antimony precursor. The gaseous antimony precursor is then directed toward and along the surface of the heated glass substrate. The antimony precursor is reacted at or near the surface to form an antimony containing coating.

Method of preparing vaporized antimony precursors

A coated glass article which may be heat strengthened with reduced variability in sheet resistance is disclosed. A multi-layer coating is formed on a glass substrate including a base layer of a substantially undoped metal oxide applied over the substrate, and an electrically conductive layer of a doped metal oxide applied directly on the base layer. The same source metal is used for the two layers.

The present invention is an anti-reflective transparent article which includes a transparent substrate. The article also includes a first coating of metal oxide applied over the substrate. The first coating of metal oxide has a reflective index of about 1.8 to about 2.6. The article further includes a second coating of a metal oxide applied over the first coating of metal oxide. The second coating has a refractive index of about 1.44 to about 1.6. The reflectivity of the article, when measured at an angle of at least 50 degrees from normal, is at least three percentage points less than the reflectivity of the uncoated substrate at the same angle.

Anti-reflective films

A color neutral absorbing film applied as a coating on a glass substrate. The film is an antimony/tin oxide alloy coating containing at least about five atomic percent antimony. The coating is suitable for use in anti-reflective coatings containing other metal oxides or mixed metal oxides to achieve a coated glass article having a visible light transmittance of 30% or greater and a reflectance of less than 5%.

A method of producing mirrors comprising depositing onto a ribbon of hot glass during the production process a coating comprising at least one pyrolytic reflecting layer and at least two reflection enhancing layers, the last applied or outer of the enhancing layers also serving as a protective layer for the coating. The mirrors have a visible light reflection of at least 35% and less than 70% and exhibit a bright silver or chrome appearance. There is also a provided a mirror having such a coating.

Coated glass article

An anti-reflective glass article including a glass substrate, a first coating of a metal oxide and a second coating of a metal oxide. The first coating of metal oxide is applied over the substrate. The refractive index of the first coating of metal oxide ranges from 1.8 to 2.6. The thickness of the first coating is greater than l/(4*n), wherein l equals a design wavelength in the visible spectrum and n equals the refractive index of said first coating of metal oxide. The second coating of metal oxide is applied over the first coating. The second coating of metal oxide has a refractive index of about 1.45 to about 1.6 and a thickness of less than l/4(n).

A method of pyrolytically forming a silica-containing coating on a glass substrate at an elevated temperature. Silane, oxygen, a radical scavenger gas and a carrier gas are combined as a precursor mixture, and the precursor is directed toward and along the surface of the heated glass substrate. The presence of the radical scavenger allows the silane, which is pyrophoric, to be premixed with the oxygen without undergoing ignition and premature reaction at the operating temperatures. The radical scavenger further provides control of and permits optimization of the kinetics of the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reaction on the glass. A preferred combination of precursor materials includes monosilane and oxygen, with ethylene as the radical scavenger, and including nitrogen as a carrier gas.

Coatings on glass

A method of producing mirrors comprising depositing onto a ribbon of hot glass during the production process a coating comprising at least one pyrolytic reflecting layer and at least one color modifying layer whereby the mirrors exhibit color in reflectance and have a visible light reflection of at least 35% and less than 70%. There is also a provided a mirror having such a coating.

Fluorine doped tin oxide coatings on glass are prepared by providing a uniform, vaporized reactant mixture containing an organotin compound, HF, water and oxygen, and delivering the reactant mixture to the surface of the hot ribbon of glass, where the compounds react to form the fluorine doped tin oxide coating. The fluorine doped tin oxide coatings applied in accordance with the invention exhibit lower sheet resistance, and improved uniformity in sheet resistance over the coated surface of the glass.
