Antimony doped metal oxide, preferably tin oxide coatings on glass are prepared by providing a uniform, vaporized reactant mixture containing an organotin compound, and organoantimony compound, water and oxygen, and delivering the reactant mixture to the surface of the hot ribbon of glass, where the compounds react to form an antimony doped metal oxide, preferably tin oxide coating. The antimony doped metal oxide, preferably tin oxide coatings applied in accordance with the invention exhibit improved uniformity in thickness and sheet resistance over the coated surface of the glass, and increased coating/manufacturing efficiency. |
