[0001] This invention relates to a coated article that includes a low-emissivity (E-low) coating. In certain exemplary embodiments, the low-E coating is provided on a substrate (for example, glass substrate) and includes at least the first and second infrared (IR) reflective layers (for example, silver-based layers), which are spaced individually by contact layers (eg NiCr based layers) and a dielectric layer of a material or including such as silicon nitride. In certain exemplary embodiments, the coated article has poor visible transmission (for example, not greater than 50%, more preferably not greater than about 42%, and most preferably, not greater than about 39%). In certain exemplary embodiments, the coated article can be heat treated (for example, thermally tempered and / or heat curved), and is designed to be substantially thermally stable after heat treatment (HT) where its ΔE value * (reflective glass side) due to HT is not greater than 4.6, and more preferably not greater than 3.6. Coated articles according to certain exemplary embodiments of this invention can be used in the context of insulating glass window (IG) units, vehicle windows, other types of windows, or in any other suitable application. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Coated articles are known in the art for use in window applications such as insulating glass (IG) window units, vehicle windows and / or the like. It is known that in certain cases, it is desirable to thermally treat (e.g., thermal temperament, heat curvature and / or thermal strengthening) such coated articles for purposes of temperament, curvature, or the like. Heat treatment (HT) of coated articles typically requires the use of temperatures of at least 580 ° C, more preferably at least about 600 ° C and even more preferably at least 620 ° C. Such high temperatures (for example, for 5 to 10 minutes or more) often cause the coatings to decompose and / or deteriorate or change in an unpredictable way. Thus, it is desirable that the coatings are able to withstand such heat treatments (for example, thermal temperament), if desired, in a predictable manner that significantly does not damage the coating.
[0003] In certain situations, designers of coated articles strive for a combination of desirable visible transmission, desirable color, low emissivity (or emissivity), and poor laminar resistance (Rs). The characteristics of low emissivity (low-E) and weak laminar resistance allow such coated articles to block significant amounts of IR radiation, in order to reduce, for example, undesirable heating of the interior of the vehicle or building.
[0004] US Patent No. 7,521,096, incorporated herein by reference, discloses a low-E coating that uses zinc oxide (ZnO) contact layers below the silver-based IR reflective layers, and above the silver-based IR reflective layer (Ag) at the bottom uses a NiCrOx contact layer followed by a central dielectric layer of tin oxide (SnO2). Although the ZnO contact layers below the silver IR reflective layers provide good structural properties for silver proliferation, ZnO has been observed to degrade the chemical, environmental and mechanical durability of the coating in certain examples. In addition, the thick SnO2 dielectric layer was observed to present microcrystallization and tension after HT that causes imperfect interfaces between SnO2, ZnO and Ag, which can lead to degradation of durability and affect transmitted color.
[0005] US Patent No. 5,557,462 discloses a low-E coating with a stack of layers of SiN / NiCr / Ag / NiCr / SiN / NiCr / Ag / NiCr / SiN. However, the coated article of the '462 patent is designed for a high visible transmission of at least 63%. Lower visible transmissions are often desirable. In addition, as explained widely in US Patent No. 8,173,263, the coated articles of the '462 patent are not heat treatable, because after heat treatment the laminar resistance (Rs) goes much higher, such as from about 3 to 5 for more than 10, turbidity tends to settle, and the ΔE * value on the side of the reflective glass is undesirable because it is above 5.0.
[0006] Consequently, it would be desirable to provide a coated article that is characterized by one or more of: (i) poor visible transmission, (ii) good durability, and (iii) thermal stability after HT in order to design an ΔE * value of side of the reflective glass not greater than about 4.6, more preferably not greater than about 3.6.
[0007] The term ΔE * (and ΔE) is well understood in the art and is reported, along with several techniques for its determination, in ASTM 2244-93 as well as being reported in Hunter et. al., The Measurement of Appearance, 2nd Ed. Cptr. 9, page 162 et seq. [John Wiley & Sons, 1987]. As used in the technique, ΔE * (and ΔE) is a way to adequately express the change (or lack thereof) in reflectance and / or transmittance (and thus also the appearance of color) in an article after or due to heat treatment. ΔE can be calculated using the "ab" technique, or using the Hunter technique (designated using a "H" subscript). ΔE corresponds to the Hunter Lab L scale, a, b (or Lh, ah, bh). Similarly, ΔE * corresponds to the CIE LAB Scale L *, a *, b *. Both are considered useful, and equivalent for the purposes of the present invention. For example, as reported in Hunter et. al. mentioned above, the rectangular coordinate / scale technique (CIE LAB 1976) known as the L *, a *, b * scale can be used, where: L * is (CIE 1976) luminosity units; a * is (CIE 1976) units of red-green; b * is (CIE 1976) yellow-blue units; and distance ΔE * between L * 0 to * 0 b * 0 and 2 2 2 1 / 2L 1 to 1 b 1 is: ΔE = [(ΔL) + (Δa) + (Δb)], where: ΔL = L 1 - L 0; Δa = a * 1 - a * 0; Δb * = b * 1 - b * 0; where the subscript "0" represents the coating (coated article) before heat treatment and the subscript "1" represents the coating (coated article) after heat treatment; and the numbers used (for example, a *, b *, L *) are those calculated using the coordinate technique (CIE LAB 1976) L *, a *, b * mentioned above. When, for example, ΔE * values on the side of the reflective glass are measured, then the values a *, b * and L * on the side of the reflective glass are used. In a similar way, AE can be calculated using the above equation for ΔE *, that is, ΔE * = [(ΔL *) 2 + (Δa *) 2 + (Δb *) 2] 1/2 by replacing a *, b *, L * with Hunter Lab values ah, bh, Lh. Also within the scope of this invention and the quantification of ΔE * are the equivalent numbers if converted to those calculated by any other technique that employs the same concept of ΔE * as defined above. BRIEF SUMMARY OF EXEMPLARY MODALITIES OF THE INVENTION
[0008] This invention relates to a coated article that includes a low-emissivity (E-low) coating. In certain exemplary embodiments, the low-E coating is provided on a substrate (for example, glass substrate) and includes at least the first and second infrared (IR) reflective layers (for example, silver-based layers), which are spaced individually by contact layers (eg NiCr based layers) and a dielectric layer of a material or including such as silicon nitride. In certain exemplary embodiments, the coated article has poor visible transmission (for example, not greater than 50%, more preferably not greater than about 42%, more preferably not greater than about 40%, and most preferably not greater than about 39%). In certain exemplary embodiments, the coated article can be heat treated (for example, thermally tempered and / or heat curved), and is designed to be substantially thermally stable after heat treatment (HT) where its ΔE value * (reflective glass side) due to the HT is not greater than 4.6, more preferably not greater than 3.6. Such a low ΔE * value indicates that the coated article has approximately the same transmission and color characteristics as seen by the naked eye both before and after heat treatment (for example, thermal temperament). Coated articles according to certain exemplary embodiments of this invention can be used in the context of insulating glass window (IG) units, vehicle windows, other types of windows, or in any other suitable application.
[0009] It is desirable to provide a coated article that is characterized by one, two or all three of: (i) poor visible transmission, (ii) good durability, and (iii) thermal stability after HT in order to design an ΔE value * on the side of the reflective glass not greater than 4.6, more preferably not greater than 3.6.
[0010] In certain exemplary embodiments of this invention, a coated article is provided including a coating supported by a glass substrate, comprising: first and second infrared (IR) reflective layers comprising silver, the first IR reflective layer being located closest the glass substrate than the second IR reflective layer; a first contact layer comprising NiCr located on and directly in contact with the first IR reflecting layer comprising silver; a dielectric layer comprising silicon nitride located on and directly in contact with the first contact layer comprising NiCr; a second contact layer comprising NiCr located on and directly in contact with the layer comprising silicon nitride; the second IR reflecting layer comprising silver located on and directly in contact with the second contact layer comprising NiCr; and wherein the second IR reflecting layer comprising silver is at least 10 angstroms (Â) thinner than the first IR reflecting layer comprising silver, and wherein the coated article has a visible transmission of not more than 50% . BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the artigorcoat of figure 1 provided in an IG window unit according to an exemplary embodiment of this invention.
[0013] Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the cloak of Figure 1 provided in a laminated window unit according to an exemplary embodiment of this invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EXEMPLARY MODALITIES OF THE INVENTION
[0014] The coated articles contained herein may be used for applications such as IG window units, laminated window units (for example, for use in vehicle or building applications), vehicle windows, monolithic architectural windows, residential windows and / or any other suitable application that includes one or multiple glass substrates.
[0015] In certain exemplary embodiments of this invention, the coating includes a double silver stack, although this invention is not so limited in all cases. With reference to figure 1, for example, in certain exemplary embodiments of this invention, a coated article is provided which includes a coating supported by a glass substrate, the coating comprising: the first 9 and second 19 infrared (IR) reflective layers that comprises silver, the first IR 9 reflecting layer being located closer to the glass substrate 1 than the second IR 19 reflecting layer; a first contact layer comprising NiCr 11 located on and directly in contact with the first IR reflecting layer comprising silver 9; a dielectric layer comprising silicon nitride 14 located on and directly in contact with the first contact layer comprising NiCr 11; a second contact layer comprising NiCr 17 located on and directly in contact with the layer comprising silicon nitride 14; the second IR reflecting layer comprising silver 19 located on and directly in contact with the second contact layer comprising NiCr 17; and wherein the second IR reflecting layer comprising silver 19 is at least 10 angstroms (Â) thinner than the first IR reflecting layer comprising silver 9, and wherein the coated article has a visible transmission of no more than 50%.
[0016] In order to increase durability, in conjunction with optical and thermal properties, and to avoid significant structural changes before and after HT, articles coated according to certain exemplary embodiments of this invention have a central dielectric layer 14 of / or including silicon nitride and the lower contact layers 7, 17 are based on NiCr (as opposed to ZnO). It has also been observed that the use of metallic or substantially metallic NiCr (possibly partially subjected to nitride) in layers 7, 11, 17 and / or 21, improves chemical, mechanical and environmental durability (compared to the use of layers of lower ZnO contact underneath the highly oxidized silver and / or NiCr upper contact layers above the silver). It has also been observed that the inclusive layer of silicon nitride deposited by spraying 14 in an amorphous state, so that it is amorphous in both the coated and HT states, contributes to the overall stability of the coating. For example, 5% HCI at 65 degrees C for one hour will remove the coating from US Patent No. 7,521,096, while the coating shown in figure 1 and the examples contained therein will survive this HCI test. And in a high temperature and high humidity environment, there is less damage to the coating of figure 1 and the examples contained therein after ten days of exposure, than to the coating of the '096 patent after two days of exposure. And with respect to highly corrosive chemicals such as those used for "brick washing", the corrosion resistance is such that margin suppression does not need to be performed on certain exemplary IG and laminate modalities. Similarly, for mechanical abrasion tests, thermal cycling tests and salt turbidity, the coatings of the examples contained here were found to be better than those of the '096 patent. In addition, it has been observed that the production of the IR reflector layer based on higher Ag 19 substantially thinner than the IR reflective layer based on lower Ag 9 improves corrosion resistance and slightly improves solar performance. The coating can be used as coated, or heat treated, due to the relatively low ΔE * values discussed here. For example, when the coating 30 is located on the surface # 2 of an IG window unit, the low ΔE * values on the side of the reflective glass due to the heat treatment indicate that the coated article has approximately the same transmission and color characteristics when viewed with the naked eye, both before and after heat treatment (for example, thermal temperament), and thus can be used as coated or as heat treated without significantly affecting its optical characteristics.
[0017] In certain exemplary embodiments of this invention such as Figure 1, heat-treated or non-heat-treated coated articles having multiple IR reflective layers (e.g., two separately spaced silver-based layers) are capable of resisting laminar (Rs) less than or equal to 5.0 (more preferably less than or equal to 4.0, even more preferably less than or equal to 3.0). The terms "heat treatment" and "heat treating" as used herein mean heating the article to a temperature sufficient to achieve thermal temperament, heat curvature and / or thermal reinforcement of the inclusive glass article. This definition includes, for example, heating a coated article in an oven or furnace to a temperature of at least about 580 degrees C, more preferably at least about 600 degrees C, for a period sufficient to allow temperament, curvature and / or thermal reinforcement. In certain cases, the HT can be for at least about 4 or 5 minutes. The coated article may or may not be heat treated in different embodiments of this invention.
[0018] Figure 1 is a side cross-sectional view of an artigorcoated according to an exemplary non-limiting embodiment of this invention. The coated article includes substrate 1 (for example, transparent glass, green, bronze or blue-green substrate of about 1.0 to 10.0 mm thick, more preferably of about 1.0 mm to 3.5 mm thickness), and the low-E coating (or layer system) 30 provided on substrate 1 directly or indirectly. The coating (or layer system) 30 includes, for example: the lower dielectric silicon nitride layer 3 which can be Si3N4, or the silicon nitride of the Si-rich type for reducing turbidity, or any other silicon nitride of appropriate stoichiometry in different modalities of this invention, the lower contact layer 7 (which comes into contact with the lower IR reflective layer 9), the first conductive infrared (IR) reflective layer and preferably metallic or substantially metallic 9, the upper contact layer 11 (which comes into contact with layer 9), the layer based on dielectric and / or inclusive silicon nitride 14, the lower contact layer 17 (which comes into contact with the IR reflective layer 19 ), the second conductive IR reflective layer and preferably metallic or substantially metallic, the upper contact layer 21 (which comes in contact with layer 19), layer of dielectric silicon nitride 24 which can be Si3N4, of the Si-rich type to reduce turbidity, or of any other stoichiometric silicon nitride suitable in different embodiments of this invention, and a cover layer 27 of / or including a material such as zirconium oxide (eg ZrO2) . The "contact" layers 7, 11, 17 and 21 each come in contact with an IR reflective layer (for example, the Ag-based layer). The aforementioned layers 3 to 27 constitute the low-E (i.e., low-emissivity) coating 30 which is supplied on the glass or plastic substrate 1. Layers 3 to 27 can be sprayed onto the substrate 1, in certain exemplary embodiments of this invention, with each layer being deposited by vacuum spraying using one or more targets as needed (the spray targets can be ceramic or metal). The metallic layers can be sprayed with an atmosphere containing argon gas, while the layers subjected to nitride can be sprayed with an atmosphere containing a mixture of nitrogen and argon gas.
[0019] In monolithic examples, the coated article includes only a glass substrate 1 as illustrated in figure 1. However, the monolithic coated articles in this document can be used in devices such as laminated vehicle windshields, IG window units, and more. As for IG window units, an IG window unit can include two separately spaced glass substrates. An example of the IG window unit is illustrated and described, for example, in U.S. Patent Document No. 2004/0005467, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Figure 2 shows an example of an IG window unit including the coated glass substrate 1 shown in figure 1 coupled to another glass substrate 2 through spacers, seals 40 or the like, with an opening 50 being defined between them. This opening 50 between the substrates in the IG window unit modalities can, in certain cases, be charged with a gas such as argon (Ar). An example of the IG unit can comprise a pair of separately spaced transparent glass substrates each about 3 to 4 mm thick, one of which is coated with a coating 30 contained here in certain exemplary cases, where the opening 50 between the substrates can be about 5 to 30 mm, more preferably about 10 to 20 mm, and most preferably around 16 mm. In certain exemplary cases, the low E-30 coating can be provided on the inner surface of the substrate that lines the opening (the coating is shown on the inner main surface of substrate 1 in figure 2 that lines the opening 50, but instead it can be on the internal main surface of the substrate 2 that lines the opening 50). Either substrate 1 or substrate 2 can be the outermost substrate of the IG window unit on the outside of the building (for example, in Figure 2, substrate 1 is the closest substrate to the outside of the building, and cladding 30 is supplied on surface # 2 of the IG window unit).
[0020] Figure 3 shows a laminated window unit including the coated glass substrate 1 shown in figure 1 coupled to another glass substrate 2 through film lamination (eg PVB) 60. As shown in figure 3, the coating low-E 30 can limit the lamination of film 60 in such products.
[0021] In certain exemplary embodiments of this invention, one, two, three or all four contact layers 7, 11, 17, 21 can be of / or include NiCr (any suitable Ni: Cr ratio), and may or may not be subjected to nitride (NiCrNx). In certain exemplary embodiments, one, two, three or all four of these inclusive layers of NiCr 7, 11, 17, 21 are substantially or completely unoxidized. In certain exemplary embodiments, one, two, three or all four layers based on NiCr 7, 11, 17, 21 may comprise 0 to 10% oxygen, more preferably 0 to 5% oxygen, and most preferably 0 to 2% oxygen (% atomic). In certain exemplary embodiments, one, two, three or all four of these layers 7, 11, 17, 21 may contain 0 to 20% nitrogen, more preferably 1 to 15% nitrogen, and most preferably about 1 to 12% nitrogen (% atomic). Although NiCr is a preferred material for absorption layers 4 and 25, it is possible that other materials may be in place or additionally used. For example, layers based on NiCr 7, 11, 17 and / or 21 may or may not be impregnated with another material such as stainless steel, Mo, or the like. It was observed that the use of contact layers based on NiCr 7 and / or 17 under the reflective IR layers based on silver 9, 19, improves the durability of the coated article (in comparison if layers 7 and 17 were used instead of ZnO).
[0022] The dielectric layers 3, 14, and 24 can be of / or include silicon nitride in certain embodiments of this invention. The silicon nitride layers 3, 14 and 24 can, among other things, improve the heat treatment capacity of the coated articles and protect the other layers during the optional HT, for example, such as thermal temperament or the like. One or more of the silicon nitride layers 3, 14, 24 can be of the stoichiometric type (i.e., Si3N4), or alternatively of the Si-rich type of silicon nitride in different embodiments of this invention. The presence of free Si in an inclusive layer of Si 3 and / or 14-rich silicon nitride may, for example, allow certain atoms such as sodium (Na) that migrate out of glass 1 during HT to be more efficiently stopped by the inclusive layers of Si-rich silicon nitride before they can reach the silver and damage it. Thus, it is believed that Si-rich SixNy can reduce the amount of damage caused to the silver layer during HT in certain exemplary embodiments of this invention, thus allowing the sheet laminar resistance (Rs) to decrease or remain around it in a satisfactory way. In addition, it is believed that Si-rich SixNy in layers 3, 14 and / or 24 may reduce the amount of damage (eg oxidation) caused by silver and / or NiCr during HT in certain optional exemplary embodiments of this invention . In certain exemplary embodiments, when Si-rich silicon nitride is used, the Si-rich silicon nitride layer (3, 14 and / or 24) as deposited can be characterized by SixNy layers, where x / y can be from 0.76 to 1.5, more preferably from 0.8 to 1.4, even more preferably from 0.82 to 1.2. Any and / or all of the silicon nitride layers discussed herein can be impregnated with other materials such as stainless steel or aluminum in certain exemplary embodiments of this invention. For example, any and / or all of the silicon nitride layers discussed herein can optionally include from about 0 to 15% aluminum, more preferably from about 1 to 10% aluminum, in certain exemplary embodiments of this invention. Silicon nitride can be deposited by spraying a target of Si or SiAl, in an atmosphere having argon and nitrogen, in certain embodiments of this invention. Small amounts of oxygen can also be provided in certain cases in the silicon nitride layers.
[0023] The infrared reflective layers (IV) 9 and 19 are substantially or completely metallic and / or conductive, and may comprise or consist essentially of silver (Ag), gold, or any other suitable IR reflective material. Reflective layers 9 and 19 help to allow the coating to have low E and / or good solar control characteristics. The reflective IR layers can, however, be slightly oxidized in certain embodiments of this invention.
[0024] Other layers below or above the illustrated coating can also be provided. Thus, although the layer or coating system is "in" or "supported by" substrate 1 (directly or indirectly), other layers can be provided between them. Thus, for example, the coating of figure 1 can be considered as "no" and "supported by" substrate 1 even though the other layers are provided between layer 3 and substrate 1. In addition, certain layers of the illustrated coating can be removed in certain embodiments, while others can be added between the various layers, or the multiple layers can be divided with the other layers added between the separate sections in other embodiments of this invention, without departing from the overall spirit of certain embodiments of this invention.
[0025] Although various thicknesses and materials can be used in the layers in different embodiments of this invention, the thicknesses and example materials for the respective layers on the glass substrate 1 in the embodiment of figure 1 are as follows, from the glass substrate apparently : Sample Materials / Thicknesses; Figure 1 mode

[0026] In certain exemplary embodiments of this invention, the coated articles contained herein may have the following optical and solar characteristics set out in Table 2 when measured monolithically (before and / or after the optional HT). The laminar resistances (Rs) here take into account all reflective IR layers (for example, silver layers 9, 19). Optical / solar characteristics (monolithic)

[0027] In certain exemplary laminate embodiments of this invention, the coated articles contained herein that have been optionally heat treated to a sufficient extent for temperament, and that have been coupled to another glass substrate to form an IG unit, may have the characteristics optical / solar cells mentioned above in a structure as shown in figure 2 (for example, where the two glass slides are 4 mm thick and 6 mm thick, respectively, of transparent glass with a 16 mm opening between them loaded with 90/10 argon / air). Such IG window units can have a visible transmission of about 20 to 40% in certain exemplary embodiments of this invention. Alternatively, the coated articles contained herein that have been optionally heat treated to a sufficient extent for tempering, and that have been coupled to another glass substrate through the laminating material such as PVB 60 to form a laminated window unit, may have the following characteristics: optical / solar characteristics mentioned above in a structure as shown in figure 3 (that is, the laminated structure of figure 3 can have the optical / solar characteristics recited above).
