As used herein, spatially relative terms, such as "under," "below," "lower," "above," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one component or feature's relationship to another component or feature as illustrated in the figures. Spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly. It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "connected" or "coupled" to another element, it can be directly connected or coupled to the other element or intervening elements may be present.

As used herein, the terms "approximately," "substantially," "essentially," and "about" are used to describe and account for minor variations. When used in conjunction with an event or circumstance, the terms can refer to an instance in which the event or circumstance occurs precisely as well as an instance in which the event or circumstance occurs in close proximity. As used herein with respect to a given value or range, the term "about" generally means within ± 10%, ± 5%, ± 1%, or ± 0.5% of the given value or range. Ranges may be expressed herein as from one end point to another end point or between two end points. Unless otherwise specified, all ranges disclosed herein are inclusive of the endpoints. The term "substantially coplanar" may refer to two surfaces located within a few micrometers (μm) along the same plane, e.g., within 10 μm, within 5 μm, within 1 μm, or within 0.5 μm located along the same plane. When referring to "substantially" the same numerical value or property, the term can refer to values that are within ± 10%, ± 5%, ± 1%, or ± 0.5% of the mean of the stated values.

As used herein, the terms "approximately," "substantially," "essentially," and "about" are used to describe and explain minor variations. When used in conjunction with an event or circumstance, the terms can refer to an instance in which the event or circumstance occurs precisely as well as an instance in which the event or circumstance occurs in close proximity. For example, when used in conjunction with numerical values, the terms can refer to a range of variation that is less than or equal to ± 10% of the stated numerical value, e.g., less than or equal to ± 5%, less than or equal to ± 4%, less than or equal to ± 3%, less than or equal to ± 2%, less than or equal to ± 1%, less than or equal to ± 0.5%, less than or equal to ± 0.1%, or less than or equal to ± 0.05%. For example, two numerical values are considered to be "substantially" or "about" the same if the difference between the two numerical values is less than or equal to ± 10% (e.g., less than or equal to ± 5%, less than or equal to ± 4%, less than or equal to ± 3%, less than or equal to ± 2%, less than or equal to ± 1%, less than or equal to ± 0.5%, less than or equal to ± 0.1%, or less than or equal to ± 0.05%) of the mean of the values. For example, "substantially" parallel may refer to a range of angular variation of less than or equal to ± 10 ° from 0 °, e.g., less than or equal to ± 5 °, less than or equal to ± 4 °, less than or equal to ± 3 °, less than or equal to ± 2 °, less than or equal to ± 1 °, less than or equal to ± 0.5 °, less than or equal to ± 0.1 °, or less than or equal to ± 0.05 °. For example, "substantially" perpendicular may refer to a range of angular variation of less than or equal to ± 10 ° from 90 °, e.g., less than or equal to ± 5 °, less than or equal to ± 4 °, less than or equal to ± 3 °, less than or equal to ± 2 °, less than or equal to ± 1 °, less than or equal to ± 0.5 °, less than or equal to ± 0.1 °, or less than or equal to ± 0.05 °.

For example, two surfaces may be considered coplanar or substantially coplanar if the displacement between the two surfaces is equal to or less than 5 μm, equal to or less than 2 μm, equal to or less than 1 μm, or equal to or less than 0.5 μm. A surface may be considered planar or substantially planar if the displacement of the surface relative to the plane between any two points on the surface is equal to or less than 5 μm, equal to or less than 2 μm, equal to or less than 1 μm, or equal to or less than 0.5 μm.

As used herein, the terms "conductive", "electrically conductive" and "conductivity" refer to the ability to transfer electrical current. Conductive materials generally indicate those materials that present little or zero opposition to current flow. One measure of conductivity is siemens per meter (S/m). Typically, the conductive material has a conductivity greater than approximately 10⁴S/m (e.g., at least 10)⁵S/m or at least 10⁶S/m) of the above-mentioned material. The conductivity of a material can sometimes vary with temperature. Unless otherwise specified, the electrical conductivity of a material is measured at room temperature.

As used herein, the singular terms "a" and "the" may include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In the description of some embodiments, a component provided "on" or "over" another component may encompass the case where the preceding component is directly on (e.g., in physical contact with) the succeeding component, as well as the case where one or more intervening components are located between the preceding and succeeding components.

Unless otherwise specified, spatial descriptions such as "above," "below," "upper," "left," "right," "lower," "top," "bottom," "vertical," "horizontal," "side," "above," "below," "upper," "on … …," "under … …," "down," and the like are directed relative to the orientation shown in the figures. It is to be understood that the spatial descriptions used herein are for purposes of illustration only and that actual implementations of the structures described herein may be spatially arranged in any orientation or manner with the proviso that embodiments of the present disclosure are not biased by such arrangements.
