Energy-efficient window coatings transmissible to wireless communication signals and methods of fabricating thereof
11511524 · 2022-11-29 · ·

Provided are novel energy-efficient signal-transparent window assemblies and methods of fabricating thereof. These window assemblies are specifically configured to allow selective penetration of electromagnetic wavelengths greater than 0.5 millimeters, representing current and future wireless signal spectrum. This signal penetration is provided while IR blocking properties are retained. Furthermore, the windows assemblies remain substantially transparent within the visible spectrum with no specific features detectable to the naked eye. This unique performance is achieved by patterning conductive layers such that the conductive layer edges remain protected during most fabrication steps and the fabrication. As such, the conductive layers are encapsulated and being separated from the environment while retaining separation between individual disjoined structures of these layers. For example, a barrier layer and/or a dielectric layer may extend over the conductive layer edge. The patterning is achieved by forming photoresist structures on the substrate and depositing a low-E stack over these photoresist structures.
