Zusammenfassung: | A coated article includes a coating which has a zinc oxide inclusive layer provided as a contact layer under and directly contacting an infrared (IR) reflecting layer of a material such as silver. It has been found that the emissivity (or emittance) of the coated article can be reduced by sputtering a cast target(s) to form the zinc oxide inclusive contact layer-as opposed to sputtering a target formed by plasma spraying or the like. Thus, it has unexpectedly been found that the emissivity and/or resistivity of an IR reflecting layer can be improved (i.e., lowered) by using a cast target to sputter-form the contact layer located immediately under the IR reflecting layer. |
