[0020] The advantages and features of the present disclosure and methods for achieving the advantages and features will become apparent with reference to the embodiments described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure is not necessarily limited to the embodiments described below, but will be implemented in various forms, and the embodiments presented are merely for the purpose of making the disclosure of the present disclosure complete, and the embodiments presented are provided to fully inform the technical personnel of the technical field to which the present disclosure belongs of the scope of the present disclosure, and the scope of the present disclosure is limited only by the scope of the attached claims. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same components.

[0021] When a first element or a first layer is referred to as being disposed “on” or “over” a second element or a second layer, this includes both the first element or the first layer being directly “on” or “over” the second element or the second layer and the third element or the third layer being between the first element or the first layer and the second element or the second layer. On the other hand, when a first element is referred to as being directly disposed “on” or “over” a second element, this means that there is no third element or the third layer between the first element and the second element. The term “and / or” includes each of a plurality of the referenced items and all combinations of one or more of the plurality of the referenced items.

[0022] As shown in the drawings, spatially relative terms such as "below", "under", "lower", "above", and "on" may be used to simply describe the relationship between a first element or a first component and a second element or a second component. Spatially relative terms should be understood as terms that include different orientations of elements during use or operation in addition to the orientation shown in the drawings. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals may refer to the same elements.

[0023] Although the terms of first and second, etc. are used to describe various elements, various components and / or various parts, it is clear that these elements, these components and / or these parts are not necessarily limited by these terms. These terms are used to distinguish an element, a component or a part from another element, another component or another part. Therefore, it is obvious that within the technical spirit of the present disclosure, the first element, the first component or the first part mentioned below can be the second element, the second component or the second part.

[0024] The embodiments described herein will be described with reference to the plan views and cross-sectional views as ideal schematic diagrams of the present disclosure. Therefore, the shapes of the illustrative drawings may be modified due to manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Therefore, although each of the drawings may represent one or more specific embodiments of the present disclosure drawn to scale, so that relative lengths, thicknesses, and angles can be inferred from the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention is not necessarily limited to the relative lengths, thicknesses, and angles shown. These values ​​may be modified within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure, for example, to allow for manufacturing limitations, etc.
