N. Herbots leads R&D teams to develop innovative medical devices and new semiconductor heterotructrurers for sensors. She focuses on design via computational models and mechanisms for device processing & Surface Energy Engineering at ASU while at SiO2 Innovates LLC, AccuAngle Analytics LLC, MicroDrop Diagnostics, LLC, the focus is on prototyping, testing and small scale mfg working directly with end-users.She was inducted Inducted Member of the National Academy of Inventors in 2018 .Her licensed patents include ordered silicon oxides, SiGeO2, oxides of GaAs, and SiGeC with US/WIPO pat #7,851,365, granted 12/14/10 , # 6,613,677, granted 9/2/03, and wafer bonding via NanoBonding™, a technology she developed and patented via # 9589801, granted 3/7/1, and # 9018077, granted 4/28/15. In the medical field, she developed a bio-compatible,,benign anti-fog such as VitreOx™ for surgical lenses, and FogKnox. She developed scar preventative coating for medical implants such as cardiac pace makers, brain and cardiac electrodes, and shunts , called ProteinKnox™. The applications include not only medical implants, but stents, and ports. She developed blood evacuating optical films for medical lenses and tools, HemoClear™, a sterile optical coating ClearEndoscope™ to eliminate fogging specifically on complex surfaces such as endoscopes and surgical camera lenses. All are either patented, or patent pending.Her most recent technologies lay at the boundary of materials physics, biology & electronics. Her new device, InnovaStrip, using HemaDrop™ coating is a Fast, Accurate (Better than 10%) whole blood Small Volume Diagnostics tool patented by SiO2 Innovates LLC and manufactured by MicroDrop Diagnostics LLC. It creates Homogeneous Thin Solid Films (HTSF) from a few microliters of blood for analysis.We have also discovered how to bond below 200°C Si or silica, silicates, n-GaAs and p-GaAs, LiTaO3 and LiNbO3 by nucleating precursor 2D nano- phases and bonding SilOxSi™ nanophases, a class of new materials we call "interphase" to contrast with the geometrical concept of interface. We call silicate-based interphase NanoOxides™Specialties: Research, Patent, Technology, Technology Transfer, Science Education, Training, Wafer Bonding, Si, Silica, GaAs, Medical Electronics, Surgical Lenses, Educational Seminar, IOL, Vacuum, Semiconductor, Langmuir-Blodgett, epitaxy, heteroepitaxy, thin films,coatings, emulsion, cataract, medical products, surgical aid, laparoscopy, arthroscopy, night vision
