METHOD OF MAKING WINDOW UNIT

摘要

A method of making a window unit is provided which may result in improved yields. In certain example embodiments, the method involves coating a substrate with both (i) a solar control/management coating, and (ii) a protective layer (e.g., of or including diamond-like carbon (DLC) over the solar control/management coating. The protective layer protects the coated substrate from scratches and/or the like during processing prior to heat treatment. Then, during heat treatment, the protective layer(s) is burned of f in part or in whole. Following heat treatment, the coated article (substrate with solar control/management coating thereon) is coupled to another substra te in order to form the window unit.
