FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

              Diodes Incorporated Reports Record Fourth Quarter and
                             Full Year 2004 Results

o   Annual revenues up 35.6% to a record $185.7 million
o   Annual net income increases 153.1% to a record $25.6 million

Westlake Village,  California,  February 7, 2005 - Diodes Incorporated  (Nasdaq:
DIOD),   a  leading   manufacturer   and  supplier  of  high  quality   discrete
semiconductors,  today reported record financial  results for the fourth quarter
and fiscal year 2004 ended December 31, 2004.

Fourth Quarter Highlights:
>> Revenues increased 22% to $47.9 million
>> New product  revenue at 16% of total sales, a new record high
>> Gross margin improved  440 basis  points to 33.9%
>> Operating  income  increased  115% to a record $9.9 million
>> Net income  increased  113% to a record $7.3 million,  or $0.47 per share

Revenues for the fourth  quarter of 2004 were $47.9  million,  a 22.2%  increase
from the fourth  quarter of 2003,  but a  sequential  decrease  of 3.0% from the
third quarter of 2004. Net income for the quarter  increased  113.2% to a record
$7.3 million,  compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended  December 31,
2003.  Diluted  earnings per share were $0.47 for the fourth quarter of 2004, as
compared to $0.23 for the same period last year.

Revenues for the twelve  months ended  December 31, 2004,  increased  35.6% to a
record $185.7 million,  compared to $136.9 million in the same period last year.
For the full year 2004, the Company earned a record $25.6 million,  or $1.65 per
share, as compared to net income of $10.1 million, or $0.70 per share in 2003.

C.H. Chen, President and CEO of Diodes Incorporated, commented: "2004 was a year
of  record-breaking  financial  performance for Diodes and superior execution in
every key aspect of our  business.  Our  research  and  development  initiatives
delivered a stream of breakthrough  products that are  establishing  Diodes as a
technology leader for discrete semiconductors.  We continued to extend our sales
reach in Asia and Europe,  entering a number of important new customer accounts.
Our world class  manufacturing  centers achieved  substantial  increases in unit
output, while continuously improving yields and cost efficiencies.

"Finally,  our focus on  financial  discipline  resulted  in  excellent  working
capital management, improving operating margins, an ever stronger balance sheet,
and substantial  positive operating cash flows. In 2004, Diodes outperformed the
discrete semiconductor market by nearly two times, and we feel confident we will
again outperform the semiconductor market in 2005."

End Markets
"Diodes'  growth in the fourth quarter was driven by continued  robust  customer
demand and  increasing  market  share in Asia,  which  contributed  62% of total
revenues  for the  quarter,"  said  Mark  King,  Vice  President  of  Sales  and
Marketing.  "Orders across all of our end-equipment  markets remained strong and
were dominated by demand in the consumer electronics and computer industries. We
continued   to   successfully   integrate   our   next-generation   devices  and
ultra-miniature arrays into products,  including digital audio players,  set-top
boxes, cell phones and notebook computers."

Sales in Europe were 2.6% of total  revenues  during the quarter and the Company
continues to strengthen  its footprint in the region.  Diodes entered into a new
representative  relationship  for Northern  Europe,  covering  Sweden,  Finland,
Denmark and Norway, extending the Company's reach into these markets.

"During the quarter,  we received  contract awards with two European  customers,
both of which represent  significant revenue increases for next year. And we are
very  encouraged to have landed our first orders with a second  European  mobile
handset manufacturer on a design win from last quarter," said Mr. King.

New Products and Design Wins
"Design win momentum continued in the fourth quarter, resulting in multiple wins
at 50 new or existing accounts from a broad range of end-equipment  users. Sales
of new products  reached a new record high of 16.2% of total  revenue,  as prior
design  wins  translated  into new  orders on the latest  generation  products,"
commented Mr. Chen.

"During  the  fourth  quarter,  Diodes  introduced  three new  Schottky  barrier
rectifiers that employ our proprietary  new  high-current  density package type,
PowerDI(TM)5. And at the beginning of February we announced another six Schottky
Rectifiers in the PowerDI(TM)5 family, which deliver unparalleled efficiency and
performance  improvements in a smaller space. These performance products combine
lower  forward  voltage drop with  exceptionally  low reverse  leakage  current,
resulting in the highest efficiency  rectifiers of their type available.  In the
PowerDI(TM)5  package,  these  devices  consume  only a fraction of the PC board
space occupied by competing products, and put Diodes in a leadership position to
support the switch mode power supply (SMPS) market.  These types of products are
enabling Diodes, Inc. to continue to build our position with existing customers,
enter new accounts and drive  sustainable  margin  expansion as proprietary  and
performance devices become a bigger component of our sales mix."

Additional Financial Highlights
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $16.2 million  compared to $16.7
million in the third quarter of 2004, and increased 40.2% over the $11.6 million
in the fourth quarter of 2003.  Gross margin remained  consistent with the third
quarter of 2004 at 33.9% of sales.  Compared to the  prior-year  quarter,  gross
margin  increased  440 basis points due to an improved  product mix, new product
revenue  expansion and  manufacturing  cost  efficiencies.  For the year,  gross
margin increased 600 basis points to 32.7% from 26.7% last year.

For the quarter, SG&A expenses were $5.4 million, or 11.4% of sales, as compared
to $5.5  million,  or 14.0% of  sales,  in the  comparable  quarter  last  year.
Sequentially,  SG&A  expenses  were  approximately  $0.7  million  lower  due to
one-time reductions in Asia sales commissions and royalty expenses. Research and
development  expenses rose 30.5% to $0.9 million, or 1.9% of revenue,  from $0.7
million,  or 1.8%, in the fourth  quarter of 2003,  as the Company  continues to
invest in enhancing current product features and developing new products.

Operating  income  for the  fourth  quarter  increased  115.2% to a record  $9.9
million,  or 20.6% of sales,  compared to $4.6 million, or 11.7%, for the fourth
quarter of 2003.  Other  expense for the fourth  quarter was $0.5  million,  due
primarily to currency exchange losses related to the weakened U.S. dollar.

The Company recorded a $1.8 million income tax provision for the fourth quarter,
for an effective tax rate of 19.7%.  The tax expense includes a $1.3 million tax
provision for planned  foreign  dividend  distributions  under the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004,  offset by a $1.2 million foreign  reinvestment tax refund
(net of U.S. taxes) and a $0.6 million research and development tax credit.

Capital expenditures for the current quarter were $7.8 million and $26.2 million
for the full year.  Depreciation  expense for the  quarter was $3.6  million and
$13.2 million for the full year.

At December 31, 2004, Diodes had $19.0 million in cash, $50.8 million in working
capital and $11.3 million in term debt. For the fiscal 2004,  shareholder equity
increased  50.4% to $107.5  million.  Cash flow from operations was $8.2 million
for the quarter and $29.3 million for the year of 2004.

Business Outlook
"After the blistering  pace of 2004, the initial  outlook for the  semiconductor
industry as a whole is somewhat  muted for 2005.  For the first quarter of 2005,
Diodes  continues  to  experience  solid  bookings and we expect sales and gross
margins to be  comparable  to the fourth  quarter  2004," said Mr. Chen.  "As we
enter 2005,  given the  strength of demand for our new  products  and  continued
stream of new performance  devices, we again expect to significantly  outperform
the semiconductor market."
