Abstract:
A method and apparatus for depositing an inorganic layer onto a substrate is described. The inorganic layer may be part of an encapsulating film utilized in various display applications. The encapsulating film includes one or more inorganic layers as barrier layers to improve water-barrier performance. An oxygen containing gas, such as nitrous oxide, is introduced during the deposition of the inorganic layer. As a result, the inorganic layer is lower in stress and may obtain a water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of less than 100 mg/m2-day.

Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to a heated backing plate coupled to a gas distribution showerhead in a PECVD chamber. The backing plate is heated by circulating a heating fluid either through channels formed within the backing plate or a tube coupled to the backing plate. A heated backing plate heats up the gas distribution showerhead, which improves the cleaning rate of the PECVD chamber that performs low temperature processes.
