1. A method for forming a low-e panel, the method comprising:
providing a transparent substrate; forming a first base layer above the transparent substrate, wherein the first base layer comprises zinc and tin; forming a first dielectric layer above the first base layer, wherein the first dielectric layer comprises niobium; forming a first seed layer above the first dielectric layer, wherein the first seed layer comprises zinc; forming a first reflective layer above the first seed layer; forming a first barrier layer above the first reflective layer, wherein the first barrier layer comprises nickel, titanium, and niobium; forming a second base layer above the first barrier layer, wherein the second base layer comprises zinc and tin; forming a second dielectric layer above the second base layer, wherein the second dielectric layer comprises niobium; forming a second seed layer above the second dielectric layer, wherein the second seed layer comprises zinc; forming a second reflective layer above the second seed layer; forming a second barrier layer above the second reflective layer, wherein the second barrier layer comprises nickel, titanium, and niobium; forming a first over-coating layer above the second barrier layer, wherein the first over-coating layer comprises zinc and tin; forming a second over-coating layer above the first over-coating layer, wherein the second over-coating layer comprises zinc; and forming a capping layer above the second over-coating layer, wherein the first dielectric layer has a refractive index that is higher than a refractive index of the first base layer, and the second dielectric layer has a refractive index that is higher than a refractive index of the second base layer.
