Patent ID: 8545985

Claim:
A coated article including a coating supported by a glass substrate, the coating comprising: at least first and second infrared (IR) reflecting layers, wherein said IR reflecting layers are spaced apart from one another by at least (i) a dielectric layer comprising tin oxide, (ii) a dielectric layer comprising silicon nitride, and (iii) a dielectric layer comprising zinc oxide, wherein the dielectric layer comprising silicon nitride is located between and contacting the dielectric layer comprising tin oxide and the dielectric layer comprising zinc oxide, wherein the dielectric layer comprising tin oxide is located closer to the glass substrate than is the dielectric layer comprising zinc oxide, and wherein the first IR reflecting layer is located closer to the glass substrate than is the second IR reflecting layer; and a metal-based absorption layer comprising NiCrN x located such that the first and second IR reflecting layers are located over the absorption layer, wherein the absorption layer is sandwiched between and contacting first and second nitride inclusive layers.
