Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for predicting ability of a temporary plugging agent to plug cracks and a storage medium, and includes the following steps: calculating a plane elastic modulus of a core through experiments, acquiring a maximum force load of a specimen, calculating rock fracture toughness through the maximum force load, manufacturing an artificial crack model and placing it in a core holder, preparing temporary plugging deflection fluid by selecting a temporary plugging agent, injecting the temporary plugging deflection fluid into the artificial crack so as to calculate apparent fracture toughness of the temporarily plugged crack, and finally calculating a fracture pressure of the temporarily plugged crack based on the calculated rock fracture toughness and the plane elastic modulus of the core. Through the above method, the present disclosure provides a standard fracture pressure calculation method.

Abstract: A method of forming an IC is presented. The method includes providing a substrate having a plurality of transistors formed thereon. The transistors have gate stack, source and drain regions. An electrical strap is formed and in contact with at least a portion of at least one sidewall of the gate stack of a first transistor to provide a continuous electrical flowpath over a gate electrode of the first transistor and the source or drain region of a second transistor.
