[0046] Aspects of some embodiments of the present disclosure and methods of implementing them can be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of embodiments and the accompanying drawings. In the following detailed description of embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which are shown by way of illustration embodiments in which aspects of the disclosure can be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments can be utilized and structural or logical changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. The following detailed description, therefore, is not to be taken in a limiting sense, as the scope of the present disclosure is defined by the appended claims.

[0047] Unless otherwise indicated, like numbers in the figures and words or combinations thereof indicate like elements, and thus, descriptions thereof will not be repeated. In addition, portions that are irrelevant to the description of the embodiments can not be shown so as to make the description clear. In the drawings, the relative sizes of the elements, layers, and regions can be exaggerated for clarity. In addition, the use of cross-hatching and / or shading in the drawings is for clarity and illustration purposes only and does not purport to be a limitation of the scope of the present disclosure to a specific material, material property, structure, dimension, proportion, or any other characteristic, attribute, property, quality, or the like. Rather, such designated elements are exemplary only and thus are not to be considered as limiting the scope of the present disclosure in any way.

[0048] Various embodiments are described herein with reference to cross-sectional illustrations that are schematic illustrations of embodiments and / or intermediate structures that are described in the present disclosure. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances, are to be expected. In addition, the particular structural and functional descriptions set forth herein are not to be interpreted as being limiting but merely as being exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. Thus, embodiments disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as being limited to the particular combinations of components set forth herein but are to be interpreted that the embodiments can be practiced with any or a combination of the components set forth herein and / or components that are to be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0049] For example, the injection region illustrated as rectangular will typically have circular or curved features at its edges and / or a gradient of injectant concentration, rather than a binary change from the injection region to the non-injection region. Similarly, the embedded region formed by injection can result in some injection in the region between the embedded region and the surface through which the injection occurs. Therefore, the regions shown in the figures are schematic in nature, and their shapes are not intended to represent the actual shape of the regions of the device, nor are they intended to be limiting. Furthermore, as those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways without departing entirely from the spirit or scope of this disclosure.

[0050] In this detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth for illustrative purposes to provide a thorough understanding of the various embodiments. However, it will be apparent that the various embodiments can be practiced without these specific details or using one or more equivalent arrangements. In other instances, well-known structures and apparatuses are shown in block diagram form to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the various embodiments.

[0051] It will be understood that although the terms “first,” “second,” “third,” etc., may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, and / or portions, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or portions should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or portion from another element, component, region, layer, or portion. Therefore, without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure, the first element, component, region, layer, or portion described below may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or portion.

[0052] For ease of explanation, spatial relative terms such as “below,” “under,” “down,” “below,” “above,” and “above” may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature to another element(s) as shown in the accompanying drawings. It will be understood that, in addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings, spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the drawings is flipped, an element described as “below,” “under,” or “below” other elements or features will subsequently be oriented “above” other elements or features. Thus, the example terms “below” and “below” can encompass both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented in other ways (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or otherwise), and the spatial relative descriptive terms used herein should be interpreted accordingly. Similarly, when a first component is described as being arranged “above” a second component, this means that the first component is arranged above or below the second component, not limited to being above it based on the direction of gravity.

[0053] Also in the present specification, the phrase "on plane" or "plan view" means to observe a target portion from the top, and the phrase "on cross section" means to observe a cross section formed by cutting a target portion vertically from the side.

[0054] It will be understood that when an element, layer, region or a component is referred to as being "formed on", "on", "connected to" or "coupled to" another element, layer, region or component, it can be directly formed on, directly on, directly connected to or directly coupled to another element, layer, region or component, or indirectly formed on, indirectly on, indirectly connected to or indirectly coupled to another element, layer, region or component, such that one or more intermediate elements, layers, regions or components can be present. For example, when a layer, region or component is referred to as being "electrically connected" or "electrically coupled" to another layer, region or component, it can be directly electrically connected or coupled to another layer, region and / or component, or there can be an intermediate layer, region or component. However, "directly connected / directly coupled" means that one component is directly connected or coupled to another component without an intermediate component. Meanwhile, other expressions describing the relationship between components, such as "between", "immediately between" or "adjacent to", and "directly adjacent to", can be similarly interpreted. Also, it will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "between" two elements or layers, it can be the only element or layer between the two elements or layers, or there can be one or more intermediate elements or layers.

[0055] For the purpose of the present disclosure, expressions such as "at least one of", when followed by a listing of elements, modify the entire listing of elements and do not modify the individual elements of the listing. For example, "at least one of X, Y, and Z" or "at least one of X, Y, or Z" can be interpreted as X alone, Y alone, Z alone, two or more of X, Y, and Z in any combination, such as, for example XYZ, XYY, YZ, and ZZ, or any variation of the above. Similarly, an expression such as "at least one of A and B" can include A, B, or A and B. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. For example, an expression such as "A and / or B" can include A, B, or A and B.

[0056] In examples, the x-axis, the y-axis, and / or the z-axis are not limited to three axes of a rectangular coordinate system, and can be interpreted in a broad sense. For example, the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis can be perpendicular to each other, or can represent different directions that are not perpendicular to each other. The same applies to the first direction, the second direction, and / or the third direction.

[0057] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" "comprising," "includes" and "including" when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.

[0058] As used herein, the terms "substantially," "approximately," "about," and similar terms are used as terms of approximation and not as terms of degree, and are intended to account for the inherent deviations in measured or calculated values that would be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art. "About" or "approximately," as used in this application, includes 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. For example, "about" can mean within one or more standard deviations, or within ± 30%, 20%, 10%, 5% of the stated value. Furthermore, the use of "may" when describing embodiments of the present disclosure means "one or more embodiments of the present disclosure."

[0059] When one or more embodiments can be implemented differently, a particular process can be performed in a different order from the described order. For example, two processes described consecutively can be performed substantially simultaneously or in the reverse order from the described order.

[0060] Electronic or electrical devices and / or any other related devices or components according to embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented using any suitable hardware, firmware (e.g., an application-specific integrated circuit), software, or a combination of software, firmware, and hardware. For example, various components of these devices can be formed on one integrated circuit (IC) chip or on separate IC chips. In addition, various components of these devices can be implemented on a flexible printed circuit film, a tape carrier package (TCP), a printed circuit board (PCB), or formed on one substrate.

[0061] Furthermore, the various components of the devices can be processes or threads running on one or more processors in one or more computing devices, executing computer program instructions at the one or more processors and interacting with other system components for performing the various functionalities described herein. The computer program instructions are stored in memory which can be implemented using standard memory devices such as, for example, Random Access Memory (RAM). The computer program instructions can also be stored in other non-transitory computer readable media such as, for example, a Compact Disc Read Only Memory (CD-ROM), or a flash drive. Further, those skilled in the art should appreciate that functions of various system components can be combined or integrated into a single computing device, or distributed among several computing devices, without departing from the spirit and scope of embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0062] 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 this 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 / or the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

[0110] In addition, the first upper wiring 410 overlapping the contact bridge 182 is disposed above the contact bridge 182, so that the contact bridge 182 can be prevented from being damaged by impurities introduced through the damaged second organic insulating layer 320.
