The study addresses the obliquely propagating tearing mode in a thin magnetic reversal layer with thickness down to the ion inertial length. The growth rate of tearing and the three-dimensional magnetic field structure are examined. The relative importance of the finite-ion-inertial-length (FIIL) effect and the oblique propagation is assessed, along with their combined effects on the tearing instability. The relevance of three-dimensional tearing to the patchy and intermittent reconnection at the dayside magnetopause. Investigation results indicate that due to the FIIL effect, the tearing instability is enhanced for parallel propagations but is suppressed for oblique propagations.
