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. 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 thereon. In certain example embodiments, the protective film may be of or include both (a) an oxygen blocking or barrier layer, and (b) a release layer. Following and/or during heat treatment (e.g., thermal tempering, or the like) the protective film may be removed. Other embodiments of this invention relate to the pre-HT coated article, or the post- HT coated article.

Abstract:
In certain example embodiments, a coated article includes a copper-doped zirconium based layer before heat treatment (HT). The coated article is heat treated sufficiently to cause the copper-doped zirconium oxide and/or nitride based layer to result in a copper-doped zirconium oxide based layer that is scratch resistant and/or chemically durable. The doping of the layer with copper has been found to improve scratch resistance.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for making a coated article including an antibacterial and/or antifungal coating. In certain example embodiments, the method includes providing a first sputtering target including Zr; providing a second sputtering target including Zn; and co-sputtering from at least the first and second sputtering targets in the presence of nitrogen to form a layer including Zn x Zr y N z on a glass substrate. These layers may be heat-treated or thermally tempered to form a single layer including Zn x Zr y O z . In other examples, two discrete layers of Zn and Zr may be formed. The coating may be heated or tempered to form a single layer including Zn x Zr y O z . Coated articles made using these methods may have antibacterial and/or antifungal properties.

There is provided a method of making a heat treated (HT) coated ar¬ ticle 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, the method comprising: provid¬ ing a glass substrate including first and second major surfaces, the first major surface being exposed to a tin bath during fabrication of the glass substrate and the second major surface being opposite the first major surface and being acid etched; ion beam treating the first major surface of the substrate so as to remove a surface portion of the substrate, the surface portion comprising one or more of tin, tin oxide and/or surface contaminants; disposing a zirconium-inclusive layer on the first major surface following said ion beam treating; and disposing a layer comprising diamond-like carbon (DLC), directly or in¬ directly, on the zirconium-inclusive layer; wherein the glass substrate with the zirconium-inclusive layer and the layer comprising DLC is heat treatable at a temperature sufficient for thermal tempering, heat strengthening, and/or heat bending so as to cause burn off of the lay¬ er comprising DLC but without also causing significant burn off of the zirconium-inclusive layer.

There is provided a method of making a heat treated (FIT) 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 thereon. In certain example embodiments, the protective film may be of or include both (a) an oxygen blocking or barrier layer, and (b) a release layer. Following and/or during heat treatment (e.g., thermal tempering, or the like) the protective film may be removed. Other embodiments of this invention relate to the pre-HT coated article, or the post- HT coated article.

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.
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 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.
Abstract:
In certain example embodiments, a coated article includes a tungsten-doped zirconium based layer before heat treatment (HT). The coated article is heat treated sufficiently to cause the tungsten-doped zirconium oxide and/or nitride based layer to result in a tungsten-doped zirconium oxide based layer that is scratch resistant and/or chemically durable. The doping of the layer with tungsten has been found to improve scratch resistance.
