Abstract
A method of encapsulating an organic light emitting diode (OLED) is provided. The method includes generating a first plasma in a process chamber, the first plasma having an electron density of at least 10cmwhen an OLED device is positioned within the process chamber. The OLED device includes a substrate and an OLED formed on the substrate. The method further includes pretreating one or more surfaces of the OLED and substrate with the first plasma; depositing a first barrier layer comprising silicon and nitrogen over the OLED by generating a second plasma comprising silicon and nitrogen in the process chamber, the second plasma having an electron density of at least 10cm, and depositing a buffer layer over the first barrier layer; and depositing a second barrier layer comprising silicon and nitrogen over the buffer layer by generating a third plasma comprising silicon and nitrogen in the process chamber.
