Abstract
A coated article is provided with at least one infrared (IR) reflecting layer (e.g,. silver based). In certain example embodiments, silicon nitride, zinc oxide, and an oxide of Ni and/or Cr are provided under the IR reflecting layer. It has been found that improved thermal stability may be realized upon heat treatment. In certain example instances, the silicon nitride may be replaced with tin oxide.
