     BACKGROUND 
     1. Field 
     Embodiments of the invention relate to a chemical vapor deposition apparatus and a method of manufacturing a display apparatus using the same and, more particularly, to a chemical vapor deposition apparatus using plasma and a method of manufacturing a display apparatus using the same. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     Manufacturing processes of a display apparatus include deposition processes forming thin layers on a surface of a substrate, photolithography processes, and etching processes. For example, the deposition processes include a sputtering deposition process and a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION  
     The invention now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various embodiments are shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms, and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. 
     It will be understood that when an element such as a layer, region or substrate is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may be present. In contrast, the term “directly” means that there are no intervening elements. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms, including “at least one,” unless the content clearly indicates otherwise. “Or” means “and/or.” It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” or “includes” and/or “including” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. 
     Spatially relative terms, such as “beneath”, “below”, “lower”, “above”, “upper” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature&#39;s relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements or features would then be oriented “above” the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly. It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings herein. “About” or “approximately” as used herein is inclusive of the stated value and means within an acceptable range of deviation for the particular value as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, considering the measurement in question and the error associated with measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). 
     Exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional illustrations and/or plane illustrations that are idealized exemplary illustrations. In the drawings, the thicknesses of layers and regions are exaggerated for clarity. Accordingly, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, exemplary embodiments should not be construed as limited to the shapes of regions illustrated herein but are to include deviations in shapes that result, for example, from manufacturing. For example, an etching region illustrated as a rectangle will, typically, have rounded or curved features. Thus, the regions illustrated in the figures are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the actual shape of a region of a device and are not intended to limit the scope of exemplary embodiments. 
       FIG. 1  is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a chemical vapor deposition apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention. 
     According to an embodiment of the invention, a chemical vapor deposition apparatus CVD may be provided as a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) apparatus. The chemical vapor deposition apparatus CVD may be used in a semiconductor manufacturing process for manufacturing an integrated circuit device, a display apparatus, or a solar cell on a substrate. In particular, the chemical vapor deposition apparatus CVD according to the invention may be used to deposit an inorganic thin layer on a substrate having an organic light-emitting diode. 
     Referring to  FIG. 1 , the chemical vapor deposition apparatus CVD may include a chamber CB, a susceptor SP, a diffuser GD, a backing plate BP, an insulator IS, a gas injection part GI, and a gas exhaust part GEP. 
     The chamber CB includes a top surface US, a bottom surface DS, and a sidewall SW connecting the top surface US and the bottom surface DS. An inner space surrounded by the top surface US, the bottom surface DS, and the sidewall SW may be defined in the chamber CB, and components necessary for operation of the chemical vapor deposition apparatus CVD may be disposed in the inner space of the chamber CB. 
     In particular, when the chemical vapor deposition apparatus CVD is operated, the inner space of the chamber CB may be sealed from the outside. In this case, the gas injection part GI and the gas exhaust part GEP may block the inflow of external air. In addition, even though not shown in the drawings, a portion of the chamber CB may be opened and closed to transfer a substrate. In this case, a portion of the sidewall SW of the chamber CB may be opened and closed. 
     The chamber CB may include a conductive material. For example, the chamber CB may include at least one of aluminum, inconel, or hastelloy. A portion of the chamber CB may be electrically connected to an external ground terminal GC. 
     In an embodiment of the invention, a process of forming an inorganic thin layer on a substrate T having an organic light-emitting diode may be performed at a low temperature. For example, the inner space of the chamber CB may be maintained at a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius in the process. 
     The susceptor SP may support the substrate T. In an embodiment of the invention, the organic light-emitting diode may be provided on the substrate T. The susceptor SP may include a conductive metal material. 
     The susceptor SP may include a first susceptor SP 1  supporting the substrate T, and a second susceptor SP 2  connected to the first susceptor SP 1  and penetrating the bottom surface DS of the chamber CB. The substrate T may be disposed on a top surface of the first susceptor SP 1 . The first susceptor SP 1  and the second susceptor SP 2  may be separately provided or may be integrally formed with each other as a single unitary body. Shapes of the first susceptor SP 1  and the second susceptor SP 2  may be variously modified depending on components included in the chemical vapor deposition apparatus CVD. 
     The first susceptor SP 1  may have a quadrilateral or circular plate shape for supporting the substrate T. Even though not shown in the drawings, the susceptor SP may include a heating line capable of heating the substrate T and/or a cooling line capable of cooling the substrate T. The heating line and/or the cooling line may be embedded in the first susceptor SP 1 . 
     The second susceptor SP 2  may be connected to a central area of the first susceptor SP 1  to support the first susceptor SP 1 . The second susceptor SP 2  may have a circular or quadrilateral pillar. 
     In particular, the second susceptor SP 2  may vertically ascend or descend to locate the substrate T to a process position. In this case, the first susceptor SP 1  may be moved in the same direction as the second susceptor SP 2  by the movement of the second susceptor SP 2 . For example, when the substrate T is transferred from an outer space into the inner space of the chamber CB through the sidewall SW of the chamber CB, the second susceptor SP 2  may vertically ascend. As a result, the substrate T may be disposed on the first susceptor SP 1 . Thereafter, the second susceptor SP 2  may descend to locate the substrate T to the process position. 
     The susceptor SP may further include an edge frame EF for fixing a sidewall of the substrate T. The edge frame EF may be located to cover an edge of the substrate T. 
     The susceptor SP may be connected to the ground terminal GC. In this case, the second susceptor SP 2  may be coupled to the bottom surface DS of the chamber CB so as to be electrically connected to the bottom surface DS. 
     The diffuser GD may be disposed over the substrate T and may be disposed between the susceptor SP and the backing plate BP. The diffuser GD may be connected to the backing plate BP. Even though not shown in the drawings, both end portions of the diffuser GD may be coupled to the backing plate BP by screws. However, embodiments of the invention are not limited thereto. In another embodiment, the diffuser GD may be connected to a bracket and may be fixed to the backing plate BP through the bracket. 
     A certain space A into which a deposition gas EG is supplied may be defined between the diffuser GD and the backing plate BP. The deposition gas EG injected from the gas injection part GI may be provided into the space A. 
     The diffuser GD may include a metal material of at least one of aluminum, inconel, or hastelloy. 
     The diffuser GD may transmit the deposition gas EG to the substrate T. A plurality of through-holes D-OP may be defined in the diffuser GD, and the deposition gas EG may be uniformly transmitted to the substrate T through the through-holes D-OP. 
     The deposition gas EG may include a reaction gas used as a deposition source for depositing an inorganic thin layer on the substrate having the organic light-emitting diode, and a stabilization gas for adjusting a pressure in the chamber CB. 
     In the present embodiment, the reaction gas may include a mixed gas of silane (SiH 4 ), ammonia (NH 3 ) and nitrogen (N 2 ) for depositing a silicon nitride layer or a mixed gas of silane (SiH 4 ), nitrous oxide (N 2 O), ammonia (NH 3 ) and hydrogen (H 2 ) for depositing a silicon oxynitride layer. The stabilization gas may include an inert gas. 
     The backing plate BP may be disposed over the susceptor SP and may be spaced apart from the susceptor SP by a predetermined distance. The backing plate BP may include a metal material of at least one of aluminum, inconel, or hastelloy. 
     The backing plate BP may be connected to a power supply part PW. Thus, the backing plate BP may receive power supplied from the power supply part PW. The power supply part PW may supply radio-frequency power (RF power) of 13.56 MHz or more, and thus the backing plate BP may receive the RF power. 
     The backing plate BP is electrically connected to the diffuser GD. The RF power applied to the backing plate BP may be transmitted to the diffuser GD connected to the backing plate BP. 
     Plasma may be formed between the diffuser GD and the susceptor SP by the RF power applied to the backing plate BP. The deposition gas EG may be excited into the plasma by a potential difference between the backing plate BP and the susceptor SP. As a result, a product of a chemical reaction of radicals and high energy of the plasma may fall and be adsorbed to a surface of the substrate T, and thus a thin layer may be deposited on the surface of the substrate T. 
     The RF power applied to the backing plate BP may be transmitted to the diffuser GD, and the RF power transmitted to the diffuser GD may be transmitted to the susceptor SP. The RF power transmitted to the susceptor SP may be transmitted to the chamber CB. The RF power transmitted to the chamber CB may be transmitted to the ground terminal GC. As a result, the RF power applied to the backing plate BP may not be completely transmitted to the diffuser GD and the susceptor SP but may be leaked through the chamber CB. 
     According to the present embodiment, the insulator IS may prevent the RF power applied to the backing plate BP from being leaked through the chamber CB. This will be described later in more detail. 
     The gas injection part GI may be disposed at the top surface US of the chamber CB. The gas injection part GI may penetrate the top surface US of the chamber CB so as to be connected to the space A. 
     The gas exhaust part GEP may be disposed at the bottom surface DS of the chamber CB. The gas exhaust part GEP may penetrate the bottom surface DS of the chamber CB and may exhaust a gas provided in the inner space of the chamber CB to the outside of the chamber CB. 
       FIG. 2  is an exploded perspective view illustrating a portion of a chemical vapor deposition apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention, and  FIG. 3  is a perspective view illustrating a backing plate according to an embodiment of the invention.  FIG. 4  is an enlarged exploded perspective view of an area AA of  FIG. 3 , and  FIG. 5  is a cross-sectional view taken along a line I-I′ of  FIG. 3 . Hereinafter, the backing plate BP will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , the backing plate BP may include a conductive plate PL, a cooling water pipe CP, and an insulating part ISP. 
     The conductive plate PL may include a first conductive plate PL 1  and a second conductive plate PL 2  disposed under the first conductive plate PL 1 . The first conductive plate PL 1  and the second conductive plate PL 2  may be provided separately from each other or may be integrally formed with each other as a single unitary body. 
     Each of the first and second conductive plates PL 1  and PL 2  may have a quadrilateral plate shape. In the present embodiment, an area of the second conductive plate PL 2  may be smaller than that of the first conductive plate PL 1 . However, embodiments of the invention are not limited thereto. 
     The cooling water pipe CP may be embedded in the first conductive plate PL 1 . Thus, a thickness of the first conductive plate PL 1  may be greater than a diameter of the cooling water pipe CP. In the present embodiment, cooling water may be supplied into the cooling water pipe CP to adjust a temperature of the backing plate BP and a temperature of the diffuser GD connected to the backing plate BP. Thus, it is possible to minimize damage of the backing plate BP and the diffuser GD by heat. 
     In the present embodiment, the cooling water pipe CP is embedded in the first conductive plate PL 1 . However, embodiments of the invention are not limited thereto. In another embodiment, the cooling water pipe CP may be embedded in the second conductive plate PL 2 . In this case, a thickness of the second conductive plate PL 2  may be greater than the diameter of the cooling water pipe CP. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 1 to 5 , the cooling water pipe CP may have an inlet CP-I into which cooling water is injected, and an outlet CP-O from which the cooling water is exhausted. The inlet CP-I of the cooling water pipe CP may be one end of the cooling water pipe CP, and the outlet CP-O of the cooling water pipe CP may be another end, opposite to the one end, of the cooling water pipe CP. 
     The insulating part ISP may be disposed on the first conductive plate PL 1  to supply the cooling water into the cooling water pipe CP and/or to exhaust the cooling water from the cooling water pipe CP. The insulating part ISP may include an insulating port PT 1  and a conductive port PT 2 . 
     The insulating port PT 1  may be fixed on a top surface PL 1 -U of the first conductive plate PL 1 . The insulating port PT 1  may include connection pipes aligned with the inlet CP-I and the outlet CP-O of the cooling water pipe CP. The connection pipes may include a first connection pipe CL 1  connected to the inlet CP-I of the cooling water pipe CP and a second connection pipe CL 2  connected to the outlet CP-O of the cooling water pipe CP. 
     The insulating port PT 1  may include plastic. Thus, the insulating port PT 1  may insulate the first conductive plate PL 1  and the conductive port PT 2  from each other. In the present embodiment, since the insulating port PT 1  is disposed on the top surface PL 1 -U of the first conductive plate PL 1 , it is possible to prevent the RF power applied to the backing plate BP from being leaked through the conductive port PT 2 . 
     The conductive port PT 2  may include a supply pipe SPP, an exhaust pipe EP, and a coupling portion SEP. 
     The supply pipe SPP may be located between a cooling water supply part (not shown) and the first connection pipe CL 1  of the insulating port PT 1  and may transfer the cooling water provided from the cooling water supply part to the cooling water pipe CP through the insulating port PT 1 . 
     The exhaust pipe EP may be located between the cooling water supply part (not shown) and the second connection pipe CL 2  of the insulating port PT 1  and may exhaust the cooling water exhausted through the cooling water pipe CP and the insulating port PT 1  to the outside of the chamber CB. 
     The supply pipe SPP and the exhaust pipe EP may be fixed at the coupling portion SEP and may be coupled to the insulating port PT 1 . The supply pipe SPP and the exhaust pipe EP may be spaced apart from each other by a certain distance and may penetrate the coupling portion SEP. In the present embodiment, the supply pipe SPP, the exhaust pipe EP, and the coupling portion SEP may include a metal material. 
     In the present embodiment, the insulating part ISP can prevent the RF power applied to the backing plate BP from being leaked, and thus the plasma can be uniformly formed in the chamber CB. As a result, a process time can be reduced and process reliability can be improved. 
       FIG. 6  is an exploded perspective view illustrating a first insulator according to an embodiment of the invention, and  FIG. 7  is an enlarged inner perspective view of an area BB of  FIG. 6 .  FIG. 8  is a perspective view illustrating a second insulator according to an embodiment of the invention, and  FIG. 9  is a cross-sectional view taken along a line II-II′ of  FIG. 8 . Hereinafter, the insulator IS according to an embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , the insulator IS may insulate the backing plate BP and the diffuser GD from the chamber CB. 
     The insulator IS may include a first insulator IS 1  and a second insulator IS 2 . 
     The first insulator IS 1  may include at least one of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), or polyvinyl fluoride (PVF). 
     The first insulator IS 1  may include a first portion P 1  covering a top surface of the backing plate BP and a second portion P 2  covering a sidewall of the backing plate BP. 
     The first portion P 1  may cover the top surface PL 1 -U of the first conductive plate PL 1 . The first portion P 1  may entirely cover the top surface PL 1 -U of the first conductive plate PL 1 . In the present embodiment, the first portion P 1  may cover a remaining portion of the top surface PL 1 -U of the first conductive plate PL 1  except an area on which the insulating part ISP is located. 
     In the present embodiment, a hole HO may be provided at a position corresponding to the insulating part ISP in the first portion P 1 . The insulating part ISP may penetrate the hole HO and may be disposed on the same plane as the first portion P 1 . At least a portion of the insulating part ISP penetrating the hole HO may be surrounded by the first portion P 1 . In the present embodiment, the insulating port PT 1  of the insulating part ISP may be surrounded by the first portion P 1 . 
     Since the first portion P 1  entirely covers the top surface of the backing plate BP, it is possible to prevent the RF power applied to the backing plate BP from being leaked to the chamber CB through the top surface PL 1 -U of the first conductive plate PL  1 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 6 , a protrusion PR may be provided at an edge of the first portion P 1  and may be assembled with the second portion P 2 . The protrusion PR may be provided in plurality, and the protrusions PR may be spaced apart from each other along the edge of the first portion P 1  at certain intervals. 
     The first portion P 1  may include a plurality of assembled blocks P 1 -B. Each of two blocks A 1  and A 2 , assembled with each other, of the plurality of blocks P 1 -B may have a contact surface having a bent shape, and the contact surfaces of the two blocks A 1  and A 2  may be in contact with each other to overlap with each other in a plan view. Thus, it is possible to inhibit or prevent the RF power applied to the backing plate BP from being leaked through the first portion P 1 . 
     Referring to  FIGS. 2 and 6 , the second portion P 2  may have a frame shape. The second portion P 2  may include a first sidewall portion P 2 - 1  covering a first sidewall PL 1 -S of the first conductive plate PL 1  and a second sidewall portion PS- 2  covering a second sidewall PL 2 -S of the second conductive plate PL 2 . In addition, the second portion P 2  may further include a frame portion P 2 - 3  that connects the first sidewall portion P 2 - 1  and the second sidewall portion P 2 - 2  to each other. A bottom surface PL 1 -B of the first conductive plate PL 1 , which connects the first sidewall PL 1 -S and the second sidewall PL 2 -S to each other, may be disposed on the frame portion P 2 - 3 . 
     An engaging portion PR-I which is engaged with the protrusion PR of the first portion P 1  may be provided at the first sidewall portion P 2 - 1 . The engaging portion PR-I may be a stepped portion that is formed in the first sidewall portion P 2 - 1  to correspond to a shape and a position of the protrusion PR. 
     The second sidewall portion P 2 - 2  may extend to further cover a sidewall of the diffuser GD. The second sidewall portion P 2 - 2  may be assembled with the second insulator IS 2 . An end portion of the second sidewall portion P 2 - 2  may have a stepped shape. 
     In the present embodiment, since the second portion P 2  entirely covers the sidewall of the backing plate BP, it is possible to prevent the RF power applied to the backing plate BP from being leaked to the chamber CB through the first sidewall PL 1 -S, the second sidewall PL 2 -S, and the bottom surface PL 1 -B of the first conductive plate PL 1 . 
     Referring to  FIGS. 6 and 7 , the second portion P 2  may include a plurality of assembled blocks P 2 -B. Each of two blocks B 1  and B 2 , assembled with each other, of the plurality of blocks P 2 -B may have a contact surface having a bent shape, and the contact surfaces of the two blocks B 1  and B 2  may be in contact with each other to overlap with each other in a plan view. Thus, it is possible to inhibit or prevent the RF power applied to the backing plate BP from being leaked through the second portion P 2 . 
     Since each of the first and second portions P 1  and P 2  includes the plurality of assembled blocks, the first portion P 1  and the second portion P 2  may be easily coupled to the backing plate BP having a wide area. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 1, 8, and 9 , the second insulator IS 2  may insulate the diffuser GD from the chamber CB. The second insulator IS 2  may have a frame shape that is disposed along a sidewall of the diffuser GD and exposes a bottom surface of the diffuser GD. The second insulator IS 2  may be assembled with the sidewall of the diffuser GD. 
     The second insulator IS 2  may be disposed under the first insulator IS 1  and may be assembled with the first insulator IS 1 . The second insulator IS 2  may be assembled with the second sidewall portion P 2 - 2  of the first insulator IS 1 . The second insulator IS 2  may cover an end portion of the second sidewall portion P 2 - 2  to prevent the deposition gas EG from coming in contact with the first insulator IS 1 . 
     The second insulator IS 2  may include a plurality of assembled blocks. Since the second insulator IS 2  includes the plurality of assembled blocks, the second insulator IS 2  may be easily coupled to the diffuser GD having a wide area. 
     Each of two blocks B 3  and B 4 , assembled with each other, of the plurality of blocks of the second insulator IS 2  may have a contact surface having a bent shape, and the contact surfaces of the two blocks B 3  and B 4  may be in contact with each other to overlap with each other in a plan view. Thus, it is possible to inhibit or prevent the RF power applied to the backing plate BP and the diffuser GD from being leaked through the second insulator IS 2 . 
     The second insulator IS 2  may include ceramic. Thus, the second insulator IS 2  may minimize or prevent damage of the first insulator IS 1 , which may be caused by the deposition gas EG and heat. 
       FIG. 10  is a cross-sectional view illustrating a display apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention. A method of manufacturing a display apparatus DD using the chemical vapor deposition apparatus CVD according to the embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

     The base layer SUB may be a flexible substrate and may include a plastic substrate, a glass substrate, a metal substrate, or an organic/inorganic composite substrate. The buffer layer BFL may include at least one of silicon oxide or silicon nitride. 
     In  FIG. 10 , the buffer layer BFL corresponding to an example of a functional layer is disposed on a surface of the base layer SUB. However, embodiments of the invention are not limited thereto. In another embodiment, a barrier layer may be disposed as a functional layer on the base layer SUB. Alternatively, the buffer layer BFL may be omitted in a display apparatus according still another embodiment of the invention. 
     The circuit layer CL may include a thin film transistor TR and at least one insulating layer. 
     A semiconductor pattern OSP of the thin film transistor TR is disposed on the base layer SUB. The semiconductor pattern OSP may include one selected from a group consisting of amorphous silicon, poly-silicon, and a metal oxide semiconductor. The insulating layer may include a first insulating layer  10  and a second insulating layer  20 . 
     The first insulating layer  10  is disposed on the base layer SUB to cover the semiconductor pattern OSP. The first insulating layer  10  may include an organic layer and/or an inorganic layer. In an embodiment, the first insulating layer  10  may include a plurality of inorganic thin layers. The plurality of inorganic thin layers may include a silicon nitride layer and a silicon oxide layer. 
     A control electrode GE of the thin film transistor TR is disposed on the first insulating layer  10 . The second insulating layer  20  is disposed on the first insulating layer  10  and covers the control electrode GE. The second insulating layer  20  includes an organic layer and/or an inorganic layer. In an embodiment, the second insulating layer  20  may include a plurality of inorganic thin layers. The plurality of inorganic thin layers may include a silicon nitride layer and a silicon oxide layer. The second insulating layer  20  may include a different material from the first insulating layer  10 . 
     An input electrode SE and an output electrode DE of the thin film transistor TR are disposed on the second insulating layer  20 . A plurality of signal lines may be disposed on the second insulating layer  20 . 
     A third insulating layer  30  may be disposed on the second insulating layer  20  to cover the input electrode SE and the output electrode DE. The third insulating layer  30  includes an organic layer and/or an inorganic layer. In an embodiment, the third insulating layer  30  may include an organic material to provide a flat surface. 
     The display layer DPL is disposed on the third insulating layer  30 . In more detail, a pixel defining layer PDL and an organic light-emitting diode OLED are disposed on the third insulating layer  30 . An anode AE is disposed on the third insulating layer  30 . The anode AE is connected to the output electrode DE through a through-hole penetrating the third insulating layer  30 . A light emitting area OP is defined in the pixel defining layer PDL. The light emitting area OP of the pixel defining layer PDL exposes at least a portion of the anode AE. 
     A light emitting unit EU is disposed on the anode AE. A cathode CE is disposed on the light emitting unit EU. The anode AE, the light emitting unit EU and the cathode CE may constitute the organic light-emitting diode OLED. Even though not shown in the drawings, the light emitting unit EU may include a hole control layer, an organic light-emitting layer, and an electron control layer. 
     The thin film encapsulation layer TFE may include a first inorganic thin layer IL 1  an organic thin layer OL and a second inorganic thin layer IL 2  which are sequentially stacked on the display layer DPL. 
     In the present embodiment, a substrate T having the display layer DPL is prepared on the susceptor SP disposed in the chamber CB. Thereafter, a plasma region is formed on the substrate T, and a deposition gas EG is provided into the plasma region to form the first inorganic thin layer IL 1  on the display layer DPL. 
     The deposition gas EG necessary for deposition is injected into the chamber CB, and RF power is applied to the backing plate BP to form a portion of the deposition gas EG into a gas in a plasma state (hereinafter, referred to as ‘plasma’). In the present embodiment, the RF power may have a frequency of about 13.56 MHz or more. 
     Since the plasma lowers activation energy of the deposition gas EG, the deposition gas EG can be in an excited state at a low temperature. The deposition gas EG in the excited state may include metastable atoms or molecules divided into highly reactive ions and radicals. Thus, the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method may form a thin layer at a lower temperature than a general chemical vapor deposition method. 
     The metastable atoms or molecules may be adsorbed on the substrate T to form the first inorganic thin layer IL 1 . The metastable atoms or molecules may be redistributed on a surface of the substrate T and may react physically and chemically on the surface of the substrate T. The metastable atoms or molecules are deposited on the substrate T while moving to the most stable sites and forming new bonds. 
     In the present embodiment, the first inorganic thin layer IL 1  is formed on the cathode CE. 
     The organic thin layer OL may be formed on the first inorganic thin layer IL 1  The first inorganic thin layer IL 1  and the organic thin layer OL may be formed in different chambers from each other. 
     The second inorganic thin layer IL 2  may be formed on the organic thin layer OL. At this time, the second inorganic thin layer IL 2  may be formed in the same chamber CB as the first inorganic thin layer IL 1  by the same manufacturing process as the first inorganic thin layer IL 1 . In the present embodiment, the thin film encapsulation layer TFE includes the first inorganic thin layer IL 1  the organic thin layer OL, and the second inorganic thin layer IL 2 . However, embodiments of the invention are not limited thereto. In certain embodiments, the thin film encapsulation layer TFE may include a plurality of inorganic thin layers and a plurality of organic thin layers. 
     According to an embodiment of the invention, the leakage of the RF power from the backing plate BP may be prevented so as to form uniform plasma in the chamber CB. As a result, a process time can be reduced and process reliability can be improved. 
     While the invention has been described with reference to example embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirits and scopes of the invention. Therefore, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limiting, but illustrative. Thus, the scopes of the invention are to be determined by the broadest permissible interpretation of the following claims and their equivalents, and shall not be restricted or limited by the foregoing description.
