Abstract:
An ellipsometry system detects and/or identifies significant corrosion on glass, such as on soda-lime-silica based float glass. In certain example embodiments, there is provided a method and/or system using ellipsometry to detect and/or identify significant corrosion on soda-lime-silica based glass, so that such significantly corroded glass can be identified and not coated with a low-E coating and/or not used in applications where optical appearance is important. The ellipsometry system may be part of, or used in connection with, a sputtering apparatus/system for sputter-depositing low-E coatings on glass, so that whether to pass a piece of glass to the sputtering apparatus/system is based on whether significant corrosion is detected on the glass.

Claim (Index 3):
The system of  claim 2 , wherein the processor of the ellipsometry system is configured to determine whether or not the glass sheet has significant corrosion thereon based at least on whether the measured delta (\u0394) value exceeds a predetermined value, so that the processor is configured to determine that the glass sheet is not significantly corroded when the measured delta (\u0394) value exceeds the predetermined value, and is configured to determine that the glass sheet is significantly corroded when the measured delta (\u0394) value does not exceed the predetermined value.
