CONNECTING THE COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTOR COMMUNITY directorsview
A New Beginning for
Compound Semiconductor
Dear readers,
On Wednesday 2nd September 2009 in a mutually agreed transaction, Angel Business
Communications Limited (BCL) acquired Compound Semiconductor magazine and its associated
website
www.compoundsemiconductor.net from IOP Publishing. Angel BCL has a long track
record of developing and publishing titles and information sources in the semiconductor and related
markets through a wide range of titles in the semiconductor, solar, MEMS and nanotechnology
sectors. The flagship publication ‘EuroAsia Semiconductor’ was first published in 1982 and now
has a world-wide distribution of 56,545 copies in 34 countries.
Compound Semiconductor is the leading magazine in its sector and is a perfect synergy with
Angel BCL’s stable of titles. To ensure continuity Richard Stevenson PhD has joined the Angel team
as Consultant Editor and will be an integral part of the magazine as it takes on a new identity and
seeks to expand its global reach.
“The deal is a win-win for Compound Semiconductor readers and advertisers, as well as for Angel
and ourselves,” stated Michael Bray, Finance Director at IOP Publishing. “With a new publisher,
Compound Semiconductor will continue to be the primary information resource for professionals
working with compound semiconductor materials and devices.”
Angel Business Communications anticipates no interruption in the print schedule of Compound
Semiconductor magazine, with all of the remaining 2009 issues and the associated advertising
schedules going-ahead as planned and looks forward to a long lasting future with the magazine and
you our readers. Angel BCL title’s have a global reach covering the range of high tech
manufacturing opportunities providing the perfect platform to take Compound Semiconductor
forward for the industry.
Compound Semiconductor is a market-leading publication that’s widely respected for its must-read
editorial content and targeted readership. We are certain that the magazine and the website will
prove to be compelling additions to Angel’s existing B2B portfolio of semiconductor magazines,
websites and live events.
Readers and advertisers wishing to contribute ideas for editorial coverage in the magazine should
