The invention provides flash-treated transparent conductive coatings based on indium tin oxide. Some embodiments provide a method that involves depositing a substoichiometric indium tin oxide film on a glass pane, and thereafter flash treating the substoichiometric indium tin oxide film to produce a flash-treated indium tin oxide film. Other embodiments provide a multiple-pane insulating glass unit having a flash-treated indium tin oxide film on an internal surface.
