FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Diodes Incorporated Ranked Among Fortune's Fastest Growing Small Businesses

Westlake Village, California, July 10, 2001 -- Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq:
DIOD), a leading manufacturer and supplier of high quality discrete
semiconductors, primarily to the communications, computing, electronics and
automotive industries, today announced that it has been named to Fortune's Small
Business 100 list, a ranking of the fastest growing small businesses of the past
three years.

Fortune compiles the list with the aid of Zacks Investment Research, on the
basis of earnings growth, revenue growth and total stock return, including
dividends in the three years leading up to December 31, 2000. Fortune's Small
Business 100 are required to be publicly traded on a major stock market, with
under $200 million in revenue for the year 2000, and must have been in business
for over three years.

All the qualifying companies are then ranked according to growth of earnings,
revenue and return. Each component is weighted equally. The results are then
averaged to find the fastest growing companies.

Overall, Diodes ranked 92 on the basis of earnings, revenue and return. The
Company reported earnings per share growth of 38.5%, placing it 68th in the
field of 100, with net income of $14.9 million in 2000. Diodes' sales rose by
21.4% over the three-year period, with growth to $118.5 million in 2000, which
earned it 83rd place in the ranking. Diodes' total return to shareholders during
the period was 16.9%, ranking it 72nd in the listing. The complete list of
Fortune's Small Business 100 is available at www.fortune.com.

"We are very gratified to be included in Fortune's Small Business 100 list,"
said C.H. Chen, President and CEO of Diodes, Inc. "The listing highlights
Diodes' record of generating robust top- and bottom-line growth and shareholder
returns, despite cyclical fluctuations in the discrete semiconductor industry."
Diodes' customers include leading OEM's such as Intel, Microsoft, Scientific
Atlanta, Motorola and Bose, as well as tier-one global distributors such as
Arrow, Avnet and Future.

Mr. Chen noted that over the past nine years, Diodes' revenues have grown at a
compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.1%, while net income has grown at a
CAGR of 56.5%. Although results for 2001 will be lower than 2000 as a result of
the present economic downturn in the electronics industry, Diodes' goal is to
continue to outperform the industry.

"With the recent addition of a wafer foundry and research and development
capability, we believe that Diodes is poised to build upon our past record of
growth in the coming years. Our success has been built upon our commitment to
the needs of our customers and to managing our business to build shareholder
value," Mr. Chen concluded.
