摘要： A transparent conductive oxide (TCO) based film is formed on a substrate. The film may be formed by sputter-depositing, so as to include both a primary dopant (e.g., Al) and a co-dopant (e.g., Ag). The benefit of using the co-dopant in depositing the TCO inclusive film may be two-fold: (a) it may prevent or reduce self-compensation of the primary dopant by a more proper positioning of the Fermi level, and/or (b) it may promote declustering of the primary dopant, thereby freeing up space in the metal sublattice and permitting more primary dopant to create electrically active centers so as to improve conductivity of the film. Accordingly, the use of the co-dopant permits the primary dopant to be more effective in enhancing conductivity of the TCO inclusive film, without significantly sacrificing visible transmission characteristics. An example TCO in certain embodiments is ZnAlOx:Ag.

摘要： Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to an electrode structure (e.g., front electrode structure) for use in a photovoltaic device or the like. In certain example embodiments, a buffer layer (e.g., of or including tin oxide) is provided between the front electrode and the semiconductor absorber film in a photovoltaic device. The buffer layer may be deposited via sputtering, and may or may not be doped in certain example instances. In an example context of use in CdS/CdTe photovoltaic devices, the buffer layer is advantageous in that it (one or more of): (a) provides a good work-function match to a possible CdS/CdTe film and the front electrode; (b) provides good durability in that it is better able to withstand attacks of sulfur vapors at elevated temperatures during possible CdS/CdTe processing; (c) may be at least partially conductive; and/or (d) provides good mechanical durability.

摘要： 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 an oxygen barrier layer provided thereon directly or indirectly. Optionally, a release layer of a material such as zinc oxide or the like may be provided between the oxygen barrier layer and the DLC. In certain example embodiments, the oxygen content of at least part of the protective film when deposited may be determined based on whether the coated surface is to be bent in a convex manner, to be bent in a concave manner, or to remain flat. Following heat treatment, which may include bending the coated surface into a convex or concave shape, and quenching, the protective film may be removed by washing or the like.

摘要： Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to an electrode (e.g., front electrode) for use in a photovoltaic device or the like. In certain example embodiments, a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) based front electrode for use in a photovoltaic device may be made by sputtering a ceramic target in a gaseous atmosphere tailored to optimize the electro-optical properties of the resulting TCO coating. For example, using a particular type of atmosphere in the sputtering process can permit the resulting TCO coating (e.g., of or including zinc oxide, zinc aluminum oxide, and/or ITO) to more readily withstand subsequent high temperature processing which may be used during manufacture of the photovoltaic device. Moreover, processing energy resulting from the high temperature(s) may also optionally be used to improve crystallinity characteristics of the TCO.

摘要： A coated article such as a mirror or window is provided, the coated article including a coating supported by a glass substrate. The coating may include at least a reflective layer in certain example embodiments of this invention. In certain example embodiments, the reflective layer and/or a layer proximate thereto is selectively oxidized or oxidized in areas corresponding to draw lines or other non-uniformities in the glass substrate. This permits reflections from the coated article to be more uniform and/or less distorted.

摘要： A method of making a coated article including a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) film supported by a glass substrate is provided. In certain embodiments, the coated article including the TCO film on the glass substrate is thermally tempered in a tempering furnace with an inorganic protective film (e.g., of or including silicon nitride) being provided on the glass substrate over the TCO film during tempering in order to prevent or reduce oxidizing of the TCO during the tempering process. Since oxidizing of the TCO film during the tempering process is prevented or reduced, the TCO film is able to maintain its electrically conductivity, even after tempering.

摘要： The present invention provides a novel organic electroluminescent device having an optical interference member which reduces the overall reflectance from the device. The invention is particularly suited to current-driven organic displays having an anode, an electroluminescent layer and a cathode, where at least one optical interference member is placed between two of the layers and thus forms part of the electrical circuit required to excite the display. The optical interference member is chosen to have a thickness which causes at least some destructive optical interference of ambient light incident on the display. In addition, the material(s) of the optical interference member are chosen to have a work function which is compatible with the highest occupied molecular orbital, or the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of the electroluminescent layer, depending on the location of the optical interference member in relation to the anode, cathode and electroluminescent layer. The appropriate selection of material can ensure proper current flow the device, thus reducing the likelihood of electrical breakdown of the organic electroluminescent layer, and improving the overall energy efficiency of the device.
