METHOD OF MAKING COATED ARTICLE HAVING IR REFLECTING LAYER WITH PREDETERMINED TARGET-SUBSTRATE DISTANCE

摘要

A coated article is provided, where a coating is supported by a substrate. The coating may include at least one infrared (IR) reflecting layer of or including Ag, Au or the like. The IR reflecting layer(s) may be sandwiched between first and second dielectric layers in certain example embodiments of this invention. It has been found that properties of the IR reflecting layer can be improved by reducing the distance (Dts) between the substrate (1) and the sputtering target(s) (21, 23, 25) used in forming the IR reflecting layer(s).
