Abstract
In certain example embodiments, a coated article includes a Zn-doped zirconium based layer before heat treatment (HT). The coated article is heat treated sufficiently to cause the Zn-doped zirconium based layer to transform into a Zn-doped zirconium oxide based layer that is scratch resistant and/or chemically durable. The doping of the layer with Zn has been found to improve scratch resistance and/or corrosion resistance.
Claims14
A coated article comprising:
- a glass substrate;
- and
- a layer comprising Zn-doped zirconium oxide (Zn:ZrxOy)provided as an outermost layer of a coating provided on the glass substrate, where y/x is from about 1.2 to 2.5 and there is more Zr than Zn in the layer comprising Zn-doped zirconium oxide, and metal content of the layer comprising Zn-doped zirconium oxide is from about 5-25% Zn.
