Field of the Invention This invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor device or a flat panel display, and more particularly to a substrate processing apparatus for processing a substrate such as a wafer or glass using plasma. . [Prior Art] In general, a flat panel display or a half body e such as a liquid crystal display or a plasma display panel is formed by a thin film deposition process, a photolithography process, and an etching process on a substrate to form a predetermined circuit pattern. Manufacturing. Each process is performed in a substrate processing apparatus in which optimum conditions have been set. Recently, substrate processing apparatuses using plasma have been widely used for depositing or etching thin films. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a view showing a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) apparatus for depositing a thin film using plasma according to the related art. In Fig. 1, a PECVD apparatus 10 includes a chamber 11, a substrate support 12, and a plasma electrode 14. The chamber 11 maintains the internal force within the chamber below the atmospheric force. An outlet 18 is formed at the lower wall of the chamber 11. The substrate support 12 is disposed in the chamber 11, and the substrate S is loaded on the substrate support 12. The substrate support 12 serves as a lower electrode for generating plasma in the chamber η. The substrate support 12 is vertically movable by a shaft 12a which is coupled to the center of the lower surface of the substrate support member 12. 123120.doc 200816279 The plasma electrode 14 is disposed above the substrate support 12. The RF frequency 'RF' power is applied from the RF power source 17 to the plasma electrode w. Plasma electrode! 4 can be formed of aluminum (A1). The impedance matching system is "connected between the plasma electrode 14 and the RF power source 17. The gas supply line 15 is connected to the center of the plasma electrode 14, and the gas distribution plate 13 is coupled to the lower side of the plasma electrode 14, so that the gas is A gas distribution zone is defined between the distribution plate η and the plasma electrode 14. The gas supply line is connected to the gas distribution zone. The gas distribution plate 13 is an ingot containing a plurality of injection holes, and the periphery of the gas distribution plate 13 is fixed to the plasma electrode 14. The lower side of the gas distribution plate 13 is connected to the plasma electrode 14 and is formed of the same material (for example, aluminum) as the plasma electrode 14, so that the gas distribution plate 13 has the same potential as the plasma electrode 14. Therefore, gas distribution The plate 13 substantially fills the upper electrode together with the plasma electrode 14 for generating plasma. A reaction zone is defined between the gas distribution plate 13 and the substrate support U. The edge of the plasma electrode 14 is disposed on the electrode support unit 19, The electrode supporting unit 19 may protrude from the side wall of the chamber n toward the inside of the chamber, or may be a portion above the side wall of the chamber 11. Since the chamber n is grounded, the chamber n should be applied with RF power. The slurry electrode 14 and the gas distribution plate 13 are separated. For this purpose, the insulator can be interposed between the electrode supporting unit 19 and the plasma electrode 14. The other aspect is due to the arrangement of the plasma electrode 14 and the gas distribution plate 13. A gap is formed around the gas distribution plate 13. The gap is surrounded by one side of the electrode supporting unit 19, one side of the gas distribution plate 3, and the plasma electrode 4. The gap is connected to the gas distribution plate 13 and the substrate support 12 The reaction between 123120.doc 200816279 Zone 0 applies RF power to the gas distribution plate 13 and the electrical electrode 14 as described above, and the electrode support unit 丨9 is connected to the chamber of the ground! Upper portion. Therefore, when RF power is applied to the plasma electrode 14, an arc or plasma discharge may occur due to a voltage difference and/or a reactive gas in the gap. Arc or plasma discharge may cause loss of RF power and cause Damage to the gas distribution plate 13. In addition, a film may be deposited in or around the gap and particles may be generated. To prevent arcing or plasma discharge, the insulator 20 may be inserted into the gap, as shown in FIG. As shown, the insulator 2 can be formed of a non-conducting material or a material having a relatively large electrical resistivity, such as a Teflon, ceramic or other engineering plastic. The thicker the insulator 20, the higher the insulation effect. 20 may be affected by the thermal expansion of the metal components in the chamber U. Therefore, there are many limitations on the material and design of the insulator 2. Accordingly, the present invention is directed to preventing arcing or plasma between different potential surfaces. Discharge substrate processing apparatus Another object of the present invention is to provide a substrate processing apparatus for preventing generation of particles between different potential surfaces. Another object of the present invention is to provide a substrate processing apparatus for preventing damage of device elements.

It is to be understood that the foregoing descriptions [Embodiment] Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred exemplary embodiments, The present invention is intended to completely insulate the surfaces of different potentials in the substrate processing apparatus, and does not limit the structure of the gas distribution plate and the plasma electrode. More specifically, the present invention is for insulating two members having two different potentials or two potential surfaces in a substrate processing apparatus or chamber. The invention is not limited to the insulating structure 123120.doc 200816279 disposed between the gas distribution plate and the electrode as will be explained hereinafter. The substrate processing apparatus of the present invention can be in the form of a right disk having a structure similar to that of Fig. 1. The same components as those of the related art may have the same reference symbols, and the explanation of the same components may be omitted. In order to solve the problem of thermal expansion of the metal component in the substrate processing apparatus, the insulator 20 can be divided into a plurality of components, and a buffer space can be provided in the component. Especially when the insulator 2G is formed of an iron gas dragon, it may be more necessary to buffer (4) because the thermal deformation of the Teflon is larger than that of the aluminum for the chamber. 2A to 2C are views schematically illustrating a separation structure of a potential surface according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 2A, the insulator 20 includes a first member and a second member, the first member and the second member each having a flat surface parallel to each other.
