Diodes Inc /del/
A maker of the tiny semiconductor parts—diodes, transistors, and rectifiers—that sit inside everything from cars and factory machines to AI-server computers. Born in California in 1959, the company took its name from the diode, a two-electrode component whose "di" means two and "ode" means electrode. Long a small regional trader, it grew into a global manufacturer after a Taiwanese maker took a stake in 1990.
