X-FAB to Exhibit at 2005 Fabless Semiconductor Association (FSA) Suppliers Expo and Technical Conference.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- X-FAB Semiconductor Foundries:

WHO:   X-FAB Semiconductor Foundries is one of the world's leading
       analog mixed-signal semiconductor foundries. The company
       manufactures silicon wafers for analog and mixed analog-digital
       integrated circuits. As a pure-play foundry supplier, X-FAB
       offers modular CMOS and BiCMOS process technologies and
       services to support companies during IC development. Its focus
       on mixed-signal applications distinguishes it from traditional
       foundry services. X-FAB maintains production facilities in
       Germany, the UK and the USA, and employs approximately 1,100
       people worldwide. The company is a platinum sponsor of the FSA
       Suppliers Expo and Technical Conference.

WHAT:  X-FAB will showcase its high-performance process technologies,
       analog functions, modular options and its services, and will
       participate in the technical sessions at the expo and
       conference. The 2-day event includes business educational
       sessions and opportunities for attendees to talk with key
       decision makers from the semiconductor industry. Attendees can
       meet with X-FAB experts to learn more about its extended 0.35
       micron process family that offers a high-voltage option, its
       0.35 micron BiCMOS technology, and its modular 0.6 micron
       process family. X-FAB's modular technology approach offers
       maximum flexibility for fully customized solutions. The newly
       available design kit extensions in 0.6 micron include a
       Schottky and PIN diode module as well as a range of new
       primitive devices. A particular focus has been to optimize
       smart power switching transistors to lower RDSON and reduce
       used silicon area.
