Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 10, 2005, IXYS Semiconductor GmbH, a German subsidiary of IXYS Corporation ("IXYS"), borrowed Euro 10,000,000 from IKB Deutsche Industriebank for a term of 15 years.

The interest rate on the loan is determined by adding the then effective Eurobor rate and a margin. The margin can range from 70 basis points to 125 basis points, depending on the calculation of a ratio of indebtedness to cash flow for the German subsidiary. During the first five years of the loan, if the Eurobor rate exceeds 3.75%, the interest rate may not exceed 4.1%, and, if the Eurobar rate falls below 2%, the interest rate may not be lower than 3%. Thereafter, the interest rate is recomputed annually. The initial interest rate is 2.863%, which is the sum of a Eurobor rate of 2.113% and a margin of 75 basis points.

Each fiscal quarter during the first five years of the loan, a principal payment of Euro 167,000 is required. Thereafter, the amount of the payment will be recomputed.

Financial covenants for a ratio of indebtedness to cash flow and a ratio of equity to total assets for the German subsidiary must be satisfied for the loan to remain in good standing. The loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty. The loan is collateralized by a security interest in the facility owned by IXYS in Lampertheim, Germany.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

See Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K.
