IXYS Has Been Named as One of the Fastest Growing Technology Companies in Silicon Valley

IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:SYXI) announced today that it
was added by Deloitte & Touche LLP to the "Silicon Valley Deloitte
Technology Fast 50" list, which recognizes the fastest growing
technology companies in the Silicon Valley. IXYS has also been
nominated for consideration in the Technology Fast 500, which honors
the 500 fastest growing North American technology companies.
   "We are gratified at this recognition, especially when it is done
by a reputable organization such as Deloitte & Touche LLP. We do not
have a PR firm that advertises our performance; thus, there is a great
deal of satisfaction that market intelligence discovers and honors our
performance. We basically tripled our annual revenues in the last four
years and have been in the forefront of power and mixed signal
semiconductor technologies that have been providing products for the
renewable energy markets and for the telecommunications, industrial,
medical and consumer markets," commented Dr. Nathan Zommer, Founder
and CEO of IXYS.
   IXYS develops and markets primarily high performance power
semiconductors and control ICs that are used in controlling and
converting electrical power efficiently in power systems for
telecommunications infrastructure, motor drives, medical systems and
transportation. IXYS also serves emerging markets with a combination
of digital and analog integrated circuits to control flat panel
displays, medical instruments and telecommunications products.
