CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
       [0001]    This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2012-0147490, filed on Dec. 17, 2012 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0002]    1. Field 
         [0003]    Embodiments of the present invention relate to a deposition source and a deposition apparatus including the same. 
         [0004]    2. Description of the Related Art 
         [0005]    A deposition process is typically included in a process of manufacturing a display device, semiconductor, and solar cells. For example, a plurality of thin films included in a liquid crystal display, a field emission display, a plasma display, and an electroluminescence display may be formed through a deposition process. 
         [0006]    Among various kinds of deposition processes, a vapor deposition process that forms a thin film on a substrate through evaporation of deposits is performed in a deposition chamber in a vacuum state by a thermal evaporation process. That is, a substrate is positioned in a deposition chamber in a vacuum state, a deposition source is positioned opposite to one surface of the substrate, and deposits contained in a furnace of the deposition source are heated at about 300° C. to 450° C. to be evaporated. Accordingly, the deposits in a gas state come in contact with the substrate in the vacuum to be solidified, and through such a process, a thin film is formed on the substrate. 
         [0007]    Recently, due to the large scale of the substrate, in the case of forming the thin film on the substrate in the above-described vapor deposition process, a method has been used to discharge deposits onto the substrate while the deposition source that is formed to extend in one direction moves in a perpendicular direction, parallel to the plane of the substrate. Here, the deposition source can be formed to extend corresponding to the length of a short side or a long side of the substrate, and thus the length of the deposition source may be increased as the size of the substrate is increased. If the length of the deposition source is increased as described above, a temperature deviation depending on the positions in the deposition source may occur due to the causes of heater uniformity and thermal expansion. Such a temperature deviation may cause a deviation of evaporation speed of the deposits depending on the positions in the deposition source, and a thin film with non-uniform thickness may be formed on the substrate. Such a non-uniform thin film may cause deterioration of the characteristics of the final product or inferiority of the final product. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0008]    A substantially uniform temperature of the deposition source can be maintained by positioning a cooling housing on a furnace of the deposition source and cooling portions of the deposition source at different rates depending on their location. For example, the cooling housing may include a cooling flow path, and cooling fluid may flow inside of the cooling flow path to cool the furnace. Because the cooling fluid that is input to the cooling flow path absorbs heat from the furnace as it flows through the cooling flow path, the temperature of the cooling fluid at a discharge port of the cooling flow path becomes higher than the temperature of the cooling fluid at a supply port of the cooling flow path. Because such a temperature difference of the cooling fluid may cause temperature variations at various locations or positions within the deposition source, it may be desirable to control the number of cooling flow paths and the shape or pattern of the paths themselves. Further, because the cooling efficiency of the cooling housing may differ depending on the flow rate of the cooling fluid that flows through the cooling flow path, it may also be necessary to control the flow rate of the cooling fluid. 
         [0009]    Accordingly, exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide a deposition source which can maintain a uniform temperature of a deposition source by controlling the number of cooling flow paths, the shape or pattern of the cooling flow paths included in the cooling housing formed on the furnace, and the flow rate of the cooling fluid passing through the cooling flow paths.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS 
       [0043]    The aspects and features of the embodiments of the present invention and methods for achieving the aspects and features will be apparent by referring to the embodiments to be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed hereinafter, but can be implemented in diverse forms. The matters defined in the description, such as the detailed construction and elements, are nothing but specific details provided to assist those of ordinary skill in the art in a comprehensive understanding of the invention. 
         [0044]    The term “on” that is used to designate that an element is on another element or located on a different layer or a layer includes both a case where an element is located directly on another element or a layer and a case where an element is located on another element via another layer or still another element. In the entire description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the same drawing reference numerals are used for the same elements across various figures. 
         [0045]    Although the terms “first, second, and so forth” are used to describe diverse constituent elements, such constituent elements are not limited by the terms. The terms are used only to discriminate a constituent element from other constituent elements. Accordingly, in the following description, a first constituent element may be a second constituent element. 
         [0046]    Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 
         [0047]      FIG. 1  is a schematic view illustrating a deposition apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to  FIG. 1 , a deposition apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a deposition source  5000  and a substrate holder  2000 . The deposition apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a deposition chamber  1000 , a mask assembly  4000 , a transport portion  6000 , and a cooling fluid supply portion  8000 . 
         [0048]    The deposition apparatus may be an apparatus that is used in a process of manufacturing a display device, semiconductor, or solar cells. In an exemplary embodiment, the deposition apparatus may be an apparatus that forms a thin film on a substrate  3000  by performing a vapor deposition process, but is not limited thereto. 
         [0049]    The deposition source  5000  may heat deposits  5130  (shown in  FIG. 3 ) contained in the deposition source  5000  and discharge the deposits  5130  in gas state. The discharged deposits  5130  may be solidified on the substrate  3000  to form a thin film. The deposition source  5000  may include a furnace  5100  and a cooling housing  5300 . The deposition source  5000  may be formed to extend in a first direction, and here, the first direction may be a length direction of the deposition source  5000 . In an exemplary embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 1 , the first direction may be an x-direction. The details of the deposition source  5000  will be described later. 
         [0050]    The substrate holder  2000  may be positioned within the deposition chamber  1000  such that the substrate  3000  faces the deposition source  5000 . The substrate holder  2000  may fix or secure the substrate  3000  onto the substrate holder  2000 . The substrate holder  2000  may secure the substrate  3000  to the surface of the substrate holder  2000  facing the deposition source  5000  using a fixing means (not illustrated), such as a fixing clip or an adsorption plate. 
         [0051]    The deposition chamber  1000  may provide a space for performing a deposition process. The pressure of the inside of the deposition chamber  1000  may be kept close to a vacuum state using a vacuum pump (not illustrated). The deposition source  5000  may be positioned on a lower side of the deposition chamber  1000  and the substrate holder  2000  may be positioned on an upper side of the deposition chamber  1000 . However, embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and the positions thereof may be changed. The deposition chamber  1000  may further include a port (not illustrated) for placing the substrate  3000  in the deposition chamber  1000  or removing the substrate  3000  from the deposition chamber  1000 . The deposition chamber  1000  may further include an exhaust end (not illustrated) for controlling the pressure inside of the deposition chamber  1000  and for exhausting the deposits  5130  that are not deposited on the substrate  3000 . 
         [0052]    The mask assembly  4000  may be positioned between the substrate holder  2000  and the deposition source  5000 . The mask assembly  4000  may include a plurality of openings formed in a pattern (e.g., a predetermined pattern). The mask assembly  4000  may cause the deposits  5130  discharged from the deposition source  5000  to pass through the plurality of openings and be deposited on the substrate  3000  according to the pattern (e.g., the predetermined pattern). 
         [0053]    The transport portion  6000  may be coupled to the deposition source  5000  or the substrate holder  2000 . The transport portion  6000  may transport the deposition source  5000  or the substrate holder  2000  in a constant direction. In an exemplary embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 1 , the transport portion  6000  may be coupled to the deposition source  5000  to transport the deposition source  5000  in a direction, which is substantially perpendicular to the length direction of the deposition source  5000  and is substantially parallel to the substrate  3000 , that is, in the y-direction. However, embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. For example, the transport portion  6000  may be coupled to the substrate holder  2000  and the substrate holder  2000  may be transported in the negative y-direction. 
         [0054]    The transport portion  6000  may include a ball screw  6100 , a guide  6200 , and a motor  6300 . The ball screw  6100  may be coupled (e.g., directly connected) to the deposition source  5000  and may be rotated to cause the deposition source  5000  to be transported laterally in the y-direction, substantially perpendicular to the length direction of the deposition source  5000 . Additionally, by periodically changing the rotating direction of the ball screw  6100 , the deposition source  5000  may be transported laterally back and forth along the y-axis. In an exemplary embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 1 , the deposition source  5000  may perform a reciprocating motion in the y-direction or in the negative y-direction. The guide  6200  may be positioned on the lower side of the deposition source  5000  to control the alignment and movement direction of the deposition source  5000 . That is, the guide  6200  may prevent the deposition source  5000  from being tilted or seceding from the moving direction. The motor  6300  may provide a driving force to rotate the ball screw  6100 . 
         [0055]    The cooling fluid supply portion  8000  may be positioned on the lower side of the deposition source  5000 . The cooling fluid supply portion  8000  may store cooling fluid and supply the cooling fluid to the cooling housing  5300 , specifically, a cooling flow path  5320  to be described later. Here, the cooling fluid may be cooling water, but is not limited thereto. The cooling fluid may be cooling gas, such as nitrogen, helium, hydrogen, or a combination thereof. The cooling fluid supply portion  8000  may be coupled to an outside of the deposition chamber  1000  to continuously provide a supply of the cooling fluid to the deposition chamber  1000  from the outside. The temperature of the cooling fluid that is stored in the cooling fluid supply portion  8000  may be controlled in advance from the outside, but is not limited thereto. The cooling fluid supply portion  8000  may be provided with a separate temperature controller. In an exemplary embodiment, the cooling fluid supply portion  8000  may include one storage chamber in which cooling fluid with constant temperature is stored. Accordingly, the cooling fluid that is supplied to the cooling housing  5300  may have a constant or substantially constant temperature. In another exemplary embodiment, the cooling fluid supply portion  8000  may include a plurality of storage chambers for storing cooling fluids with different temperatures, respectively. Accordingly, the temperatures of the cooling fluids supplied to the cooling housing  5300  may differ depending on the positions in the deposition source  5000 , and the temperatures of the cooling fluids being supplied may be controlled depending on the positions in the deposition source  5000 . 
         [0056]    Hereinafter, the deposition source  5000  according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to  FIGS. 2 to 5 .  FIG. 2  is a schematic perspective view illustrating a deposition source  5000  according to an embodiment of the present invention, and  FIG. 3  is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line III-III′ in  FIG. 2 .  FIG. 4  is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of a controller  7000  of a deposition source  5000  according to an embodiment of the present invention.  FIG. 5  is a schematic front view illustrating one of a plurality of cooling plates  5310  included in a cooling housing  5300  of a deposition source  5000  according to an embodiment of the present invention. For convenience in explanation, the same reference numerals are used for elements that are substantially the same as the elements illustrated in  FIG. 1 , and the duplicate explanation thereof will be omitted. 
         [0057]    The deposition source  5000  according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the furnace  5100  and the cooling housing  5300 . The deposition source  5000  according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a flow controller  5400 , a temperature sensor  5200 , and a controller  7000 . 
         [0058]    The furnace  5100  may be formed, for example, in a cuboidal shape, and may include a space therein. The inner space of the furnace  5100  may be surrounded by a furnace housing  5110 . In the inner space of the furnace  5100 , deposits  5130  in solid state or in liquid state may be contained. Here, the deposits  5130  may be organic materials, but are not limited thereto. The deposits  5130  may be sublimated or evaporated by being heated by a heater  5140  located within the furnace housing  5110 , and may be discharged to the outside of the furnace  5100  through a discharge port  5120 . Here, the heater  5140 , which may be a heating means, such as a heating coil, may convert electric energy received from the outside into thermal energy and transfer heat to the deposits  5130  inside the furnace  5100 . Referring to  FIG. 3 , the heater  5140  may be formed to be spaced apart for a predetermined distance in the furnace housing  5110 . The deposits  5130  discharged to the outside of the furnace  5100  may be deposited on the substrate  3000  to form a thin film. 
         [0059]    The furnace  5100  may be formed to extend in the first direction. Here, the first direction may be defined as a length direction of the furnace  5100 . In an exemplary embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 2 , the first direction may be an x-direction. Because the furnace  5100  extends in the first direction, the furnace  51  may include a plurality of discharge ports  5120 , and the plurality of discharge ports  5120  may be arranged in the first direction. In an exemplary embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 2 , the plurality of discharge ports  5120  are arranged in a line. However, embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, but the plurality of discharge ports  5120  may be arranged, for example, in a plurality of columns or in a matrix form. 
         [0060]    As illustrated in  FIG. 2 , the furnace  5100  may include one inner space formed therein. However, the furnace  5100  may also include a plurality of inner spaces. In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of furnaces  5100  may be arranged in a direction which is perpendicular to the length direction of the furnaces  5100  and is parallel to the substrate  3000 , that is, in the y-direction. Further, the plurality of furnaces  5100  may be integrally formed as one furnace  5100 . In this case, the cooling housing  5300  may be interposed between the plurality of inner spaces. 
         [0061]    The cooling housing  5300  may be formed on the furnace  5100 . In an exemplary embodiment, the cooling housing  5300  may be formed to be in contact with the furnace housing  5110 . In an exemplary embodiment illustrated in  FIGS. 2 and 3 , the cooling housing  5300  may surround all surfaces of the furnace  5100  except for one surface of the furnace  5100  on which the discharge port  5120  is formed. In another exemplary embodiment, the cooling housing  5300  may surround the furnace  5100 , but expose the discharge port  5120 . In another exemplary embodiment, the cooling housing  5300  may be integrally formed with the furnace housing  5110 . 
         [0062]    The cooling housing  5300  may include a plurality of cooling plates  5310 . Each of the cooling plates  5310  may correspond to one surface of the furnace  5100 . That is, each of the cooling plates  5310  may come in contact with one surface of the furnace  5100  to absorb heat emitted from the furnace  5100 . In an exemplary embodiment illustrated in  FIGS. 2 and 3 , five cooling plates  5310  may be provided in total: two on opposing long side surfaces (corresponding to x-z plane) of the furnace  5100 , two on opposing short side surfaces (corresponding to y-z plane) thereof, and one on the bottom surface (corresponding to x-y plane). In another exemplary embodiment, that is, in an embodiment in which three of the furnaces  5100  illustrated in  FIG. 2  are arranged in the direction which is perpendicular to the length direction of the furnace  5100  and is parallel to the substrate  3000 , that is, in the y direction, seven cooling plates  5310  may be provided in total: two on opposing long side surfaces of the two outside furnaces  5100 , two on opposing short side surfaces of the three furnaces  5100 , one on the bottom surface of the three furnaces  5100 , and two between each of the adjacent furnaces  5100 . In still another exemplary embodiment, two or more cooling plates  5310  may be provided on one surface of the furnace  5100 . 
         [0063]    The cooling plate  5310  may include a cooling flow path  5320 . The cooling flow path  5320  may be formed on the inside of the cooling plate  5310  in a pipe form. The cooling flow path  5320  may receive the cooling fluid from the cooling fluid supply portion  8000  and the deposition source  5000  may substantially perform the cooling function. In an exemplary embodiment, because the furnace  5100  is heated at 300° C. to 450° C. and the cooling fluid has a temperature that is the ambient temperature, for example, 25° C., or a temperature that is lower than the ambient temperature, a region of the furnace  5100  that corresponds to a region on which the cooling flow path  5320  is formed may be cooled through heat transfer from high temperature to low temperature. In order to widen the region on which the cooling flow path  5320  is formed, that is, in order to heighten the cooling efficiency of the cooling plate  5310 , the cooling flow path  5320  may be formed to be bent several times (e.g., in a zigzag pattern). 
         [0064]    Each of the plurality of cooling plates  5310  may include a plurality of cooling flow paths  5320 . In an exemplary embodiment illustrated in  FIGS. 2 and 5 , one cooling plate  5310  may include two cooling flow paths  5320 . The plurality of cooling flow paths  5320  formed on the plurality of cooling plates  5310  may be symmetrically formed about a center portion of the furnace  5100 . Here, the center portion of the furnace  5100  may mean the center portion of the furnace housing  5110 . Further, “symmetrical about the center portion of the furnace  5100 ” may mean symmetrical about the center portion of the cooling plate  5310  that corresponds to the center portion of the furnace  5100 . In an exemplary embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 2 , on the cooling plate  5310  on the long side surface of the furnace  5100  as seen from the front, the cooling flow paths  5320  may be bilaterally symmetric about the center portion of the cooling plate  5310  that corresponds to the center portion of the furnace  5100 , that is, the center portion of the cooling plate  5310  that corresponds to a point that corresponds to a half of the length of the furnace  5100 . 
         [0065]    If one cooling plate  5310  includes a plurality of cooling flow paths  5320  as described above, the length of the cooling flow path  5320 , that is, the length between the supply port and the discharge port, is reduced, and thus the temperature increase of the cooling fluid due to the heat discharged from the furnace  5100  can be suppressed. Accordingly, by reducing the temperature difference of the cooling fluid between the supply port and the discharge port of the cooling flow path  5320 , the temperatures depending on the positions in the deposition source  5000  can be uniformly controlled. Further, by individually controlling the plurality of symmetrically formed cooling flow paths  5320 , the temperature in the length direction or width direction of the deposition source  5000  can be uniformly controlled. Here, one method for individually controlling the plurality of cooling flow paths  5320  may be, as described above, a method for supplying the cooling fluids having different temperatures through the cooling fluid supply portion  8000  depending on the positions in the deposition source  5000 . That is, the temperatures depending on the positions in the deposition source  5000  can be uniformly controlled in a manner that the cooling fluid having a relatively low temperature is supplied to a portion of the deposition source  5000  having a relatively high temperature while the cooling fluid having a relatively high temperature is supplied to a portion of the deposition source  5000  having a relative low temperature or the supply of the cooling fluid is temporarily interrupted in the deposition source  5000 . 
         [0066]    Another method for individually controlling the plurality of cooling flow paths  5320  may be a method for controlling the positions of the supply ports and the discharge ports of the cooling flow paths  5320 . The details thereof will be described later. Still another method for individually controlling the plurality of cooling flow paths  5320  may be a method for controlling the flow rates of the cooling fluids flowing to the cooling flow paths  5320  through the flow controllers  5400  installed on the cooling flow paths  5320 . The details thereof will be described later. 
         [0067]    Each of the plurality of cooling flow paths  5320  may include at least one supply port through which the cooling fluid is supplied and at least one discharge port through which the cooling fluid is discharged. In an exemplary embodiment, the supply ports may be positioned at both ends of the cooling plate  5310 , and the discharge ports may be positioned in the center portion of the cooling plate  5310 . In another exemplary embodiment, the discharge port may be positioned between the supply ports. In an exemplary embodiment illustrated in  FIGS. 2 and 5 , the supply portion and the discharge portion are indicated by directions of arrows. That is, if the arrow is in the direction of the cooling flow path  5320 , the corresponding portion is the supply port, and if the arrow is in the opposite direction to the cooling flow path  5320 , the corresponding portion is the discharge port. 
         [0068]    The temperature of both end portions of the deposition source  5000  may be relatively higher than the temperature of the center portion thereof. Accordingly, if the cooling fluid is supplied to the both ends of the cooling plate  5310  that correspond to the both ends of the deposition source  5000  and is discharged from the center portion of the cooling plate  5310  that corresponds to the center portion of the deposition source  5000 , the temperature of the cooling fluid at both ends of the cooling plate  5310  may be lower than the temperature of the cooling fluid in the center portion of the cooling plate  5310  that receives the heat emitted from the furnace  5100 . Accordingly, the thermal balance of the deposition source  5000  can be improved or satisfied, and thus the temperatures depending on the positions in the deposition source  5000  can be substantially uniformly controlled. 
         [0069]    If the temperature of the center portion of the deposition source  5000  is relatively higher than the temperature of the both ends thereof, the supply port of the cooling flow path  5320  may be positioned in the center portion of the cooling plate  5310 , and the discharge port thereof may be positioned at both ends of the cooling plate  5310 . As described above, by controlling the positions of the supply port and the discharge port of the cooling flow path  5320  depending on the temperature difference due to the positions thereof in the deposition source  5000 , the temperatures depending on the positions in the deposition source  500  can be substantially uniformly controlled. 
         [0070]    The flow controller  5400  may be installed in the cooling flow path  5320 . The flow controller  5400  may control the flow rate of the cooling fluid that flows through the cooling flow path  5320 . In an exemplary embodiment, the flow controller  5400  may be installed on the supply port and/or the discharge port of the cooling flow path  5320 . In another exemplary embodiment, the flow controller  5400  may be installed inside the cooling plate  5310 . In still another exemplary embodiment, the flow controller  5400  may be installed on the cooling fluid supply portion  8000 . 
         [0071]    The temperature sensor  5200  may be installed in the furnace housing  5110  or on the furnace housing  5110 . The temperature sensor  5200  may measure the temperature of the furnace  5100 . A plurality of temperature sensors  5200  may be provided, and may be in the form of a point, line, or surface. If the plurality of temperature sensors  5200  is provided, they may measure temperatures at various positions within the deposition source  5000 . In an exemplary embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 3 , the temperature sensors  5200  may be positioned between the heaters  5140 , but embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. 
         [0072]    The controller  7000  may control the flow controller  5400  to correspond to the difference between the temperature measured by the temperature sensor  5200  and a preset temperature. For the detailed explanation thereof, referring to  FIG. 4 , the controller  7000  may include a temperature storage unit  7200 , a temperature comparison unit  7100 , and a temperature compensation unit  7300 . 
         [0073]    The temperature storage unit  7200  stores preset temperatures depending on the positions in the deposition source  5000 , and the preset temperatures are provided to the temperature comparison unit  7100 . Here, the preset temperatures may be equal to one another regardless of the position of the deposition source  5000 . However, embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, but the preset temperatures may differ depending on the position of the deposition source  5000 . 
         [0074]    The temperature comparison unit  7100  may receive the temperatures measured depending on the positions in the deposition source  5000  from the temperature sensor  5200 , and may receive the preset temperatures depending on the positions in the deposition source  5000  from the temperature storage unit  7200 . The temperature comparison unit  7100  may calculate the temperature difference value by comparing the measured temperature with the preset temperature in the same position. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the temperature comparison unit  7100  may calculate the value that is obtained by subtracting the preset temperature from the measured temperature. The temperature difference value calculated by the temperature comparison unit  7100  may be provided to the temperature compensation unit  7300 . 
         [0075]    The temperature compensation unit  7300  may control the flow controller  5400  in the position corresponding to the difference value based on the difference value provided from the temperature comparison unit  7100 . Here, the position that corresponds to the difference value may be the position that corresponds to the measured temperature and the preset temperature which are used when the difference value is calculated. In an exemplary embodiment, if the difference value corresponds to a positive number, it means that the measured temperature is higher than the preset temperature, and thus the cooling efficiency can be increased or improved by increasing the flow rate of the cooling fluid that passes through the cooling flow path  5320  through control of the flow controller  5400 . In this case, as the absolute value of the difference value becomes larger, the flow rate of the cooling fluid is further increased. In another exemplary embodiment, if the difference value corresponds to a negative number, it means that the measured temperature is lower than the preset temperature, and thus the cooling efficiency can be lowered by decreasing the flow rate of the cooling fluid that passes through the cooling flow path  5320  through control of the flow controller  5400 . In this case, as the absolute value of the difference value becomes larger, the flow rate of the cooling fluid is further decreased. Because the above-described contents have been described on the assumption that as the flow rate of the cooling fluid is increased, the cooling efficiency is increased, it may be possible to select and apply the flow rate of the cooling fluid that matches the actual processing condition. 
         [0076]    The detailed example of the above-described contents will be described with reference to  FIG. 5 . The cooling plate  5310  of the cooling housing  5300  in  FIG. 5  includes two cooling flow paths  5320 , that is, a first cooling flow path  5320   a  and a second cooling flow path  5320   b , and the flow controller  5400  may be installed in each of the cooling flow paths  5320 . That is, a first flow controller  5400   a  may be installed on the supply port of the first cooling flow path  5320   a , and a second flow controller  5400   b  may be installed on the supply port of the second cooling flow path  5320   b . Here, if it is assumed that the temperature at both ends of the deposition source  5000  is higher than the temperature in the center portion of the deposition source  5000 , for example, if the temperature at the left end portion of the deposition source  5000  is higher than the temperature at the right end portion of the deposition source  5000 , the controller  7000  may control the first flow controller  5400   a  to make the flow rate of the cooling fluid passing through the first cooling flow path  5320   a  become higher than the flow rate of the cooling fluid passing through the second cooling flow path  5320   b . Accordingly, the cooling of the left end portion of the deposition source  5000  can be performed more efficiently than the cooling of the right end portion of the deposition source  5000 , and thus the temperature at the left end portion of the deposition source  5000  becomes similar to the temperature at the right end portion of the deposition source  5000 . Further, because the temperature of the cooling fluid that flows at both ends of the deposition source  5000  is lower than the temperature of the cooling fluid that flows in the center portion of the deposition source  5000 , the cooling of the both ends of the deposition source  5000  can be performed more efficiently than the cooling of the center portion of the deposition source  5000 , and thus the temperature at the both ends of the deposition source  5000  becomes similar to the temperature in the center of the deposition source  5000 . Accordingly, the temperature at various positions of the deposition source  5000  can be substantially uniformly controlled. 
         [0077]    As described above, in addition to the controlling of the flow controller  5400  based on measurements of the temperatures of the deposition source  5000  at various positions in the deposition source  5000 , the controller  7000  may also control the temperature of the cooling fluid that is supplied from the cooling fluid supply portion  8000  based on measurements of the temperatures of the deposition source  5000  at various positions in the deposition source  5000 , or may control the positions of the supply port and the discharge port of the cooling flow path  5320  based on measurements of the temperatures of the deposition source  5000  at various positions in the deposition source  5000 . Accordingly, the temperatures at various positions in the deposition source  5000  can be substantially uniformly maintained. 
         [0078]      FIG. 6  is a schematic front view illustrating one of a plurality of cooling plates  5311  included in a cooling housing  5301  of a deposition source (e.g., deposition source  5000 ) according to another embodiment of the present invention. For convenience in explanation, the same reference numerals are used for elements that are substantially the same as the elements as illustrated in  FIG. 5 , and the duplicate explanation thereof will be omitted. 
         [0079]    Referring to  FIG. 6 , each of the plurality of cooling flow paths  5321  included in the cooling plate  5311  of the cooling housing  5301  may include a plurality of discharge ports corresponding to one supply port, and the flow controller  5401  may be installed on each of the plurality of discharge ports. In another exemplary embodiment, each of the plurality of cooling flow paths  5321  may include a plurality of supply ports corresponding to one discharge port, and the flow controller  5401  may be installed on each of the plurality of supply ports. 
         [0080]    In an exemplary embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 6 , a supply port of the first cooling flow path  5321   a  may be positioned on the left side surface of the cooling plate  5311 , two discharge ports may be positioned on the upper surface and the lower surface of the cooling plate  5311 , a supply port of the second cooling flow path  5321   b  may be positioned on the right side surface of the cooling plate  5311 , and two discharge ports may be positioned on the upper surface and the lower surface of the cooling plate  5311 . Further, first flow controllers  5401   a  may be installed on or coupled to the two discharge ports of the first cooling flow path  5321   a , and second flow controllers  5401   b  may be installed on or coupled to the two discharge ports of the second cooling flow path  5321   b . As described above, the first cooling flow path  5321   a  may individually control the temperatures of upper and lower divided portions on the left side of the cooling plate  5311 , and the second cooling flow path  5321   b  may individually control the temperatures of upper and lower divided portions on the right side of the cooling plate  5311 . Accordingly, the first cooling flow path  5321   a  and the second cooling flow path  5321   b  may individually control the temperatures of the deposition sources corresponding to the respective regions by dividing the cooling plate  5311  into four portions in total. 
         [0081]      FIG. 7  is a schematic front view illustrating one of a plurality of cooling plates  5312  included in a cooling housing  5302  of a deposition source (e.g., deposition source  5000 ) according to still another embodiment of the present invention. For convenience in explanation, the same reference numerals are used for elements that are substantially the same as the elements as illustrated in  FIG. 5 , and the duplicate explanation thereof will be omitted. 
         [0082]    Referring to  FIG. 7 , a plurality of cooling flow paths  5322  included in the cooling plate  5312  of the cooling housing  5302  may include a plurality of first cooling flow paths  5322   a  arranged to be spaced apart from each other and second cooling flow paths  5322   b  arranged adjacent to the respective first cooling flow paths  5322   a . Specifically, the first cooling flow paths  5322   a  and the second cooling flow paths  5322   b  may be alternately arranged. Further, the first cooling flow paths  5322   a  and the second cooling flow paths  5322   b  may make the cooling fluid flow in opposite directions to each other through the first and second cooling flow paths. Further, flow controllers  5402  may be installed on or coupled to the first cooling flow paths  5322   a  and the second cooling flow paths  5322   b . That is, first flow controllers  5402   a  may be installed on or coupled to the supply ports of the first cooling flow paths  5322   a , and second flow controllers  5402   b  may be installed on or coupled to the supply ports of the second cooling flow paths  5322   b . As described above, by alternately arranging the first cooling flow paths  5322   a  and the second cooling flow paths  5322   b  and making the cooling fluid flow in opposite directions to each other through the first cooling flow paths  5322   a  and the second cooling flow paths  5322   b , it becomes easier to uniformly control the temperatures depending on the positions in the deposition source. 
         [0083]    While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims. It is therefore desired that the present embodiments be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, reference being made to the appended claims and their equivalents, rather than the foregoing description, to indicate the scope of the invention.
