Patent ID: 8409717

Claim:
A coated article including a coating supported by a glass substrate, the coating comprising: at least one dielectric layer; a layer comprising zinc oxide over the at least one dielectric layer; an infrared (IR) reflecting layer comprising silver on the glass substrate, located over and directly contacting the layer comprising zinc oxide, wherein the coating includes only one IR reflecting layer; a layer comprising an oxide of Ni and/or Cr located over and directly contacting the IR reflecting layer comprising silver; an overcoat comprising a layer comprising tin oxide located over the oxide of Ni and/or Cr and a layer comprising silicon nitride located over and contacting the layer comprising tin oxide; wherein, in the overcoat, the layer comprising tin oxide and the layer comprising silicon nitride have substantially equal thicknesses plus/minus 10% in order to improve thermal cycling performance and mechanical durability of the coating and the layer comprising tin oxide and the layer comprising silicon nitride each have a thickness of from about 160-180 Å.
