Abstract

A multi-layer thin film having as a primary component, a coating of highly doped zinc oxide, and optionally, a color suppression underlayer and a protective metal oxide overcoat. The film stack is preferably deposited on a transparent substrate by atmospheric chemical vapor deposition. The film stack exhibits a desirable combination of properties including high visible light transmittance, relatively low solar energy transmittance, low emissivity, and high solar selectivity.
