摘要: This disclosure describes a device and method of sealing perforations on a well casing inside a subterranean well. The device comprises a generally cylindrical sleeve having an open top and a closed bottom; a heater located inside the sleeve, the heater comprising a thermite mixture; an ignition mechanism that ignites the thermite mixture upon actuation; and a string connected to the heater ignition and detachably engages the sleeve. The method comprises lowering a body of meltable plugging material into the well casing near the perforations; lowering the plugging device into the well casing immediately on top of the body of meltable plugging material; melting the meltable plugging material by igniting the thermite thereby transferring heat to the body of meltable plugging material; forcing the molten plugging material into the perforations by pushing the plugging tool further downhole; cooling the plugging tool and the plugging material until the plugging material solidifies; disengaging the tubing string from the sleeve and retrieving the tubing string with the heater; and removing the sleeve and bismuth remaining in the well casing, but not in the perforations.

The plurality of gate electrodes are formed at a plurality of levels, respectively, spaced apart from each other in the first direction on the substrate. Each of the gate electrodes surrounds outer sidewalls of the channel and the dummy channel. The support pattern is between the upper surface of the substrate and a first gate electrode among the gate electrodes. The first gate electrode is at a lowermost one of the levels. The channel and the dummy channel contact each other between the upper surface of the substrate and the first gate electrode.
