Patent ID: 8414970

Claim:
A method of forming a single layer anti-reflection coating on a glass substrate using combustion deposition, the method comprising: providing a glass substrate having at least one surface to be coated; introducing an organosiloxane inclusive precursor at least initially having a ring-like or cage-like structure to be combusted; combusting, using at least one flame, at least a portion of the precursor to form a combusted material, the combusted material comprising non-vaporized material, the at least a portion of the precursor being combusted such that at least some of the ring-like or cage-like structure of the precursor survives the combusting, and the combusted material at least partially comprises a ring-like or cage-like structure; and providing the glass substrate in an area so that the glass substrate is heated sufficiently to allow the combusted material to form the coating, directly or indirectly, on the glass substrate, wherein the anti-reflection coating at least partially comprises a less dense and/or voided microstructure due to the ring- or cage-like structure of the precursor.
