  1. 1
    A method of making a heat treated coated glass comprising the steps of (a) forming on a glass substrate (i) a solar control layer wherein the major component of the layer is at least one metal (hereinafter defined as metal M) selected from stainless steel, titanium, chromium, zirconium, tantalum and hafnium, or a nitride of the metal M, or a boride of the metal M, or a carbide of the metal M, or a mixture of these, or wherein the major component of the layer is aluminum, or an electroconductive layer wherein the material of the layer is an indium oxide doped with tin, a tin oxide doped with antimony or fluorine, or a zinc oxide doped with aluminum, boron, or silicon, or wherein the material of the layer is ZnO, TiO 2 , SnO 2 , ThO 2 , V 2 O 5 , Nb 2 O 5 , Ta 2 O 5 , MoO 3 , WO 3 , MnO 2 , or PbCrO 4 ;and (ii) a first protective layer whose major component is at least one selected from the group consisting of a boron nitride, a silicon nitride, a boronitride, a siliconitride, and a carbonitride;or a nitride of at least two selected from the group consisting of silicon, boron, aluminum, zirconium and tin, which may be incompletely oxidized, which is transparent in a region of visible light, and which remains transparent even when oxidized, to provide a glass coated with a multi-layer comprising at least two layers including said solar control layer or electroconductive layer and said first protective layer;and (b) performing heat-treatment for said coated glass, (b1) wherein the coated glass is heated at 580 to 700°C and bent, or (b2) wherein the coated glass is heated at 500 to 700°C and rapidly cooled for tempering, or (b3) wherein the tempering (b2) is performed continuously successive to the bending (b1).
  2. 3
    The method of making a heat treated coated glass according to Claim 2, wherein the second protective layer is a film having an oxygen barrier performance.
  3. 4
    The method of making a heat treated coated glass according to Claim 2, wherein the second protective layer is a film whose major component is at least one selected from the group consisting of a tin oxide, a tantalum oxide, a titanium oxide, a niobium oxide, a titanium oxide and a silicon oxide.
  4. 6
    The method of making a heat treated coated glass according to Claim 5, wherein a second underfayer which is composed of a metal oxide and is transparent, is formed on the glass substrate before said first underlayer is formed on the glass substrate.
