Precision Timing in Step with Long-Life Systems

Individual components often retire long before the overarching platforms they power are phased out, making timing a question of long-term continuity as much as precision. The mismatch is most visible in long-life environments such as radar systems, medical imaging equipment and industrial machinery, where platforms are meticulously qualified, installed for extended service lives and expected to perform reliably even as semiconductor processes and product families evolve. This is where Data Delay Devices’ (DDD) products stand out, successfully bridging that gap between product lifecycles and system lifecycles for more than six decades.

Recovering Semiconductor Value from Obsolete Electronics

Dan Wang, President

Electronics can become obsolete as complete devices, while the semiconductors and other materials inside them still retain value. Conventional recycling can recover the broader material stream, but component-level value can be lost when equipment is treated primarily as scrap. For electronics owners and manufacturers, the challenge is to extract that value economically while keeping processing viable in the U.S. Toyoshima Green Tech is an R2-certified electronics recycler that combines AI-powered robotic disassembly with semiconductor refurbishment to work at the component level. Its model makes component-level processing economically viable in the U.S. while creating pathways to reuse semiconductors and reclaim rare metals. “We put refurbished components back into the market to help reduce the gap between supply and demand,” says Dan Wang, president. Wang brings semiconductor expertise rooted in his family’s chip manufacturing background in Taiwan. This gives Toyoshima Green Tech the technical foundation to refurbish chips that conventional electronics recyclers typically leave within discarded equipment.

EDITORIAL

Precision, Reliability And Responsibility In Semiconductor Manufacturing
The semiconductor and electronics industries depend on exactness across increasingly specialized processes, from timing products to equipment lifecycle management and manufacturing test engineering. This edition of Semiconductor Review highlights how focused expertise across these areas contributes to the dependability and performance expected from modern electronic systems.

Data Delay Devices, recognized as Top Precision Timing Products Manufacturer 2026, leads the issue. Precision timing products assist electronic systems to run in synchrony, thus ensuring that accuracy is integral to the function. By accepting Data Delay Devices has a new way of approaching manufacturing, the award highlights the niche market of timing-related manufacturing. The award demonstrates the high skill required in manufacturing precision timing products and the important part played by manufacturers like Data Delay Devices.

The edition also recognizes Toyoshima green tech as Top Electronics ITAD Services 2026. Electronics IT asset disposition belongs to a later stage of the technology lifecycle—how you take care of electronic assets once they are no longer serving their initial purpose. The award emphasizes services that further the responsible management of obsolete electronics, aligning with manufacturing and engineering-centric categories in the other half of the issue. These awards and categories demonstrate the range of work that surrounds electronics.

The issue further features Christoph Wimmer, Manager Strategic Projects at Omron Automation Americas, and Jorge Alberto Diaz, Senior Manager, Manufacturing Test Engineering – ECU at Lucid Motors. Their jobs bring the issues of semiconductor and electronics management and manufacturing test engineering to the table. These viewpoints shift the attention of the issue away from the production of the product and toward the management and engineering of specialized automotive and industrial electronics applications.

The companies and contributors featured in this edition stand for distinct areas of expertise across the semiconductor and electronics ecosystem. Explore their stories to gain a closer understanding of the products, services and technical leadership molding these fields.
