Diodes Manufacturing Receives Environmental Management Certification ISO-14001

Westlake Village, California -- November 28, 2000 -- 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 its Chinese manufacturing facility
has been granted ISO-14001 certification.

ISO-14001 certification covers environmental management systems and the way in
which organizations minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by the
manufacturing process. Certification is granted after an extensive series of
on-site audits demonstrate compliance with the Environmental Management Systems
Standards.

Speaking about the certification, C.H. Chen, President and CEO of Diodes
Incorporated, said, "We are committed to maintaining the highest standards in
every facet of Diodes' operations. We are justifiably proud of our hard-earned
reputation in supplying quality products and delivering exceptional customer
service, and believe that it is of equal importance that we, as a global
organization, demonstrate a keen awareness of our wider responsibilities to the
environment and society as a whole."

The Diodes-China manufacturing facility is producing at a run rate of
approximately 2.5 billion units per year and current expansion is expected to
achieve a run rate of over 4 billion units by the end of next year. The facility
has already received QS-9000 (automotive) and ISO-9002 (quality control)
certifications.

Pending the completion of the recently announced FabTech acquisition,
Diodes-China's manufacturing, Diodes-North America (corporate sales, marketing,
engineering and logistics headquarters), Diodes-Taiwan (Asia-Pacific sales,
logistics and distribution center), and Diodes-FabTech (wafer foundry) will
begin to realize our strategic goal of becoming a vertically integrated
manufacturer and supplier of discrete semiconductors. This strategy will take
the Company to the next level and is designed to enable Diodes to accelerate the
development and introduction of new technology into its products.

The ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies, comprising members from 127 countries.
The object of the organization is to promote the development of standardization
and related activities throughout the world, with a view to facilitating the
international exchange of goods and services and the development of cooperation
in the spheres of intellectual, scientific, technological and economic activity.
To meet ISO-14001 standards, a company or a facility must implement processes to
