Improved photoenergy properties of low-emissivity coatings deposited by sputtering with an ion gun treatment

This work studies the effect of ion treatment on low-emissivity (low-e) coatings deposited by magnetron sputtering. Specifically, we have investigated application an in dielectric layer before deposition a silver. reduces roughness which means silver can be with enhanced characteristics. We also evaluated etching rate SnO x due to already deposit equal thicknesses. Subsequently, studied effects coating's photoenergy properties. For equivalent coatings, found that those treated ions were more transparent visible region, reflective, and had lower emissivity, are essential requirements for low-e applied architectural glass. • Low-emissivity Ion gun improve coatings.
