DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
(10) Exemplary embodiments of the disclosure are described in detail, and examples of the exemplary embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. Whenever possible, the same element symbols are used in the drawings and descriptions to indicate the same or similar parts.
(11) It should be understood that when an element such as a layer, film, region or substrate is referred to as being “on” or “connected to” another element, it may be directly on or connected to the another element, or intervening elements may also be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on” or “directly connected to” another element, there are no intervening elements present. As used herein, “connection” may refer to a physical and/or electrical connection. Furthermore, “electrical connection” or “coupling” may mean that there is another element between two elements.
(12) As used herein, “about”, “approximately”, or “substantially” 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). For example, “about” can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ±30%, ±20%, ±10%, ±5% of the stated value. Further, as used herein, “about”, “approximately”, or “substantially” may depend on optical properties, etch properties, or other properties to select a more acceptable range of deviations or standard deviations without one standard deviation for all properties.
(13) Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the disclosure belongs. It will be further understood that terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the disclosure and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
