Abstract

A ceramic target is used in sputter-depositing a contact layer adjacent an infrared (IR) reflecting layer in certain example embodiments. For example, a ZnOx ceramic target may be used in sputter-depositing a zinc oxide inclusive layer over and/or under a silver based IR reflecting layer in certain embodiments. In certain example embodiments, the ceramic target may be doped with a non-metal such as F and/or B.
