A coated article includes a low emissivity (low-E) coating having at least one infrared (IR) reflecting layer of a material such as silver, gold, or the like, and at least one high refractive index layer of or including titanium oxide and at least one additional metal. A doped titanium oxide layer(s) is designed and deposited in a manner so as to be amorphous or substantially amorphous (as opposed to crystalline) in the low-E coating, so as to better withstand optional heat treatment (HT) such as thermal tempering and reduce haze. The high index layer may be a transparent dielectric high index layer in preferred embodiments, which may be provided for antireflection purposes and/or color adjustment purposes, in addition to having thermal stability.

Coated article having low-E coating with IR reflecting layer(s) and doped titanium oxide dielectric layer(s) and method of making same

Coated article having low-E coating with IR reflecting layer(s) and niobium-doped titanium oxide dielectric layer(s) and method of making same

Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to articles including anticondensation and/or low-E coatings that are exposed to an external environment, and/or methods of making the same. In certain example embodiments, the anti condensation and/or low-E coatings may be survivable in an outside environment. The coatings also may have a sufficiently low sheet resistance and hemispherical emissivity such that the glass surface is more likely to retain heat from the interior area, thereby reducing (and sometimes completely eliminating) the presence condensation thereon. The articles of certain example embodiments may be, for example, skylights, vehicle windows or windshields, IG units, VIG units, refrigerator/freezer doors, and/or the like.

Articles including anticondensation and/or low-E coatings and/or methods of making the same

A coated article includes a low emissivity (low-E) coating having at least one infrared (IR) reflecting layer of a material such as silver, gold, or the like, and at least one yttrium (Y) inclusive high index nitrided dielectric layer. In certain example embodiments, the yttrium inclusive high index nitrided dielectric layer(s) may be of or include one or more of YZrSiAlN, YZrSiN, YSiN, and/or YSiAlN. The high index layer may be a transparent dielectric high index layer, with a high refractive index (n) and low k value, in preferred embodiments and may be provided for antireflection purposes and/or visible transmission purposes, and/or for improving thermal stability. In certain example embodiments, the low-E coating may be used in applications such as monolithic or insulating glass (IG) window units, vehicle windows, or the like.

Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to articles including anti condensation coatings that are exposed to an external environment, and/or methods of making the same. In certain example embodiments, the anticondensation coatings may be survivable in an outside environment.

The articles of certain example embodiments may be, for example, skylights, vehicle windows or windshields, IG units, VIG units, refrigerator/freezer doors, and/or the like.

Articles including ITO inclusive coatings for vehicle windshields and/or methods of making the same
