Abstract
Example embodiments of this invention relate to a coated article having a low-E coating including at least one infrared (IR) reflecting layer of silver that is doped with a material such as SiAl, SiZn, or SiZnCu. The IR reflecting layer(s) is part of a low-E coating, and may be sandwiched between at least transparent dielectric layers. A silver based IR reflecting layer doped in such a manner for example provides for improved corrosion resistance and chemical durability of the layer and the overall coating, and improved stability such as reduced haze upon optional heat treatment (HT), while maintaining good optical properties, compared to an Ag IR reflecting layer that is not doped.
