IXYS Increasing Production of High Power Semiconductors As Demand for Uninterruptible Power Supplies Electrical and Generators Increases

Posted on: Tuesday, 27 September 2005, 09:00 CDT

IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:SYXI) announced that it has received substantial orders for its integrated MOS and Bipolar modules products as a direct result of portable generator manufacturers responding to the immediate demand for alternate sources of electric power in light of recent electricity blackouts.

"We are moving very quickly to provide fast delivery of our products to OEM customers around the world in order to meet the demand for portable generators and other industrial equipment such as soft-start controllers and motor generator sets," according to Dan Schwob, Senior VP of Marketing and Business Development. "The unfortunate natural disasters of the last 20 months again highlight the importance of alternative sources of electricity as well as back-up sources of energy, like uninterruptible power supplies."

IXYS is one of the few power semiconductor companies in the world that offers a complete line-up of medium to high power devices that can cover from "front-to-back" the semiconductor requirements used in equipment that convert energy into AC electrical power from alternative sources, such as Solar PV and wind turbines. IXYS also has focused its latest IGBT and Polar FET device technologies to provide improved efficiency in back-up and uninterruptible power supplies. The market for "green" energy and "uninterruptible" energy is expected to grow at double digit rates and IXYS continues to focus its sights on serving this market in a leadership position.

Any statements contained in this press release that are not statements of historical fact, including the demand for products, may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause the results of IXYS to differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements, including, among others, risks detailed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2005. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements.
