Touche Fast 50 Program

Westlake Village, California, August 3, 2001 -- Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq:

"Los Angeles Technology Fast 50" program.

The Fast 50 is a regional ranking of the fastest-growing technology companies in
22 regions of the United States and Canada. Selection for the Fast 50 is based
on a company's percentage of growth in revenues over the five-year period
1996-2000. To be considered, a company must show that it had 1996 operating
revenues of at least $50,000 and 2000 operating revenues of at least $1 million.

Diodes Incorporated is a leading manufacturer and supplier of high quality
discrete semiconductors, primarily to the communications, computing, industrial,
consumer electronics and automotive industries. Diodes' customers include
leading OEM's such as Intel, Microsoft, Scientific Atlanta, Motorola, Delphi and
Bose, as well as tier-one global distributors such as Arrow, Avnet and Future.

"We are delighted to be included in the Deloitte & Touche Fast 50," said C.H.
Chen, President and CEO of Diodes Incorporated. "It is an honor to be named
among this prestigious group of noteworthy companies in Southern California and
is an affirmation of our commitment to establish Diodes as a truly world-class
competitor in the discrete semiconductor industry."

Gary Dickey, Technology & Communications Partner at Deloitte & Touche,
commented, "The Fast 50 recognizes and honors the fastest growing regional
technology companies whose leaders have the vision and determination to deliver
exemplary performance in an increasingly competitive high tech marketplace.
Diodes, Inc. has proved that it is one such company and we at Deloitte & Touche
salute its accomplishments."
