A process for obtaining an item including a substrate made of glass or glass ceramic coated on at least one portion of at least one of its faces with a stack of thin-layers including no silver layers and including at least one thin layer of a transparent electrically conductive oxide, the process including: a step of depositing the stack, in which step the thin layer of a transparent electrically conductive oxide and at least one thin homogenizing layer are deposited, the thin homogenizing layer being a metal layer or a layer based on a metal nitride other than aluminum nitride, or a layer based on metal carbide; then a heat treatment step in which the stack is exposed to radiation.

Absorbing layers of a low-emissivity (low-E) coating are designed to cause the coating to have a reduced film side reflectance which is advantageous for aesthetic purposes. In certain embodiments, the absorbing layers are metallic or substantially metallic (e.g., NiCr or NiCrN.sub.x) and are positioned in order to reduce or prevent oxidation of the absorbing layers during optional heat treatment (e.g., thermal tempering, heat bending, and/or heat strengthening). Coated articles according to certain example embodiments of this invention may be used in the context of insulating glass (IG) window units, other types of windows, etc.

An object of the present invention is to obtain a reflective mask blank capable of obtaining high contrast at the edges of a phase shift film pattern. Provided is a reflective mask blank comprising a multilayer reflective film and a phase shift film that shifts the phase of EUV light formed in that order on a substrate, wherein root mean square roughness (Rms), obtained by measuring a 1 m1 m region on the surface of the phase shift film with an atomic force microscope, is not more than 0.50 nm, and power spectrum density at a spatial frequency of 10 to 100 m.sup.1 is not more than 17 nm.sup.4.

A coated article includes a glass substrate supporting a coating. The coating may include, moving away from the glass substrate, a layer comprising diamond-like carbon (DLC); a layer comprising zinc oxide, wherein a concentration of OH-groups at a surface of the layer comprising zinc oxide farthest from the glass substrate is no greater than about 40%; and a layer comprising aluminum nitride on the glass substrate over and directly contacting the layer comprising zinc oxide. The DLC layer may be temporary, and designed to be burned off during heat treatment.

The present disclosure relates to display, windows, camera cover, lens and lens cover, optical/infra-red sensors, glasses and spectacles.

The present invention relates to a pane with thermal radiation reflecting coating, comprising a substrate (1) and at least one thermal radiation reflecting coating (2) on at least one of the surfaces of the substrate (1), wherein the coating (2), proceeding from the substrate (1), comprises at least one lower dielectric layer (3), one functional layer (4) that contains at least one transparent, electrically conductive oxide, and one upper dielectric layer (5), and wherein at least one darkening layer (10) is arranged below the lower dielectric layer (3), between the lower dielectric layer (3) and the functional layer (4), between the functional layer (4) and the upper dielectric layer (5), and/or above the upper dielectric layer (5), and wherein the darkening layer (10) contains at least one metal, one metal nitride, and/or one metal carbide with a melting point greater than 1900 C. and a specific electrical resistivity less than 500 ohm*cm.

Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to coated articles including noble metal (e.g., Ag) and polymeric hydrogenated diamond like carbon (DLC) (e.g., a-C:H, a-C:H:O) composite material having antibacterial and photocatalytic properties, and/or methods of making the same. A glass substrate supports a buffer layer, a matrix comprising the noble metal and DLC, a proton-conducting layer that may comprising zirconium oxide in certain example embodiments, and a layer comprising titanium oxide. The layer comprising titanium oxide may be photocatalytic and optionally may further include carbon and/or nitrogen. The proton-conducting layer may facilitate the creation of electron-hole pairs and, in turn, promote the antibacterial properties of the coated article. The morphology of the layer comprising titanium oxide and/or channels formed therein may enable Ag ions produced from matrix to migrate therethrough.
