Heat treatable coated article with diamond-like carbon (DLC) and/or zirconium in coating

摘要

In certain example embodiments, a coated article includes a zirconium nitride inclusive layer before heat treatment (HT). The coated article is heat treated sufficiently to cause the zirconium nitride based layer to transform into a zirconium oxide based layer that is scratch resistant and/or durable. In certain example embodiments, the zirconium nitride and/or zirconium oxide may be doped with F and/or C.
