    Abstract: There is provided a method of making a heat treated (HT) coated article to be used in shower door applications, window applications, or any other suitable applications where transparent coated articles are desired. The method may include heat treating a glass substrate coated with at least a layer of or including diamond-like carbon (DLC) or other type of carbon, with a protective film thereon. In certain example embodiments, the protective film may be of or include a layer of or including SnOx prior to HT. Optionally, a release layer of a material such as zinc oxide may be provided between the SnOx and the DLC. Following and/or during heat treatment the SnOx transforms into SnOy (y>x) so that stress is created due to the SnOx to SnOy transition. Then, during quenching, stress relief may occur which causes the layer to buckle, creating cracks which may act as liquid channels that permit the sacrificial film to be easily removed via washing or the like.

    Abstract: An ion beam source that emits an ion beam in a direction of a substrate is provided. A cathode with a discharge opening defined therein is included. An anode is also included and spaced apart from the cathode. Ions are set to be emitted in an area proximate to the discharge opening in a direction similar to the direction from the anode to the discharge opening. First and second ceramic walls at least partially define a discharge channel between the anode and the cathode. At least one magnet generates a magnetic field in an area proximate to the discharge opening.

    Abstract: Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to a front electrode for solar cell devices (e.g., amorphous silicon or a-Si solar cell devices), and/or methods of making the same. Advantageously, certain example embodiments include a front contact including a transparent conductive oxide layer of aluminum-doped zinc oxide. In certain example embodiments, the AZO-based layer is ion beam treated post-deposition in order to increase its surface energy and/or decrease its contact layer so as to make the layer less hydrophobic. In certain example embodiments, after ion beam treatment, a weak acid may be used to texture the layer of AZO. The reduced contact angle of the layer of AZO may improve its ability to be textured. A semiconductor may be provided over the textured layer of AZO. In certain example embodiments, the textured, ion beam-treated AZO may result in an improved front contact.

    Abstract: A method of making a heat treated (HT) coated article to be used in shower door applications, window applications, or any other suitable applications where transparent coated articles are desired. For example, certain embodiments of this invention relate to a method of making a coated article including a step of heat treating a glass substrate coated with at least a layer of or including diamond-like carbon (DLC) and an overlying protective film (e.g., of or including zinc oxide) thereon. In certain example embodiments, the protective film may be ion beam treated with at least carbon ions. It has been found that the ion beam treatment improves the shelf-life of the product prior to HT. Following and/or during heat treatment (e.g., thermal tempering, or the like), the protective film may be removed.
