FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- ---------------------

                     IBIS TECHNOLOGY ANNOUNCES PROFITABLE
                      THIRD QUARTER AND FIRST NINE MONTHS

DANVERS, MA, October 27, 1999 -- Ibis Technology Corporation (NASDAQ: IBIS), a
leading manufacturer and supplier of SIMOX-SOI (Separation by IMplantation of
OXygen / Silicon-On-Insulator) implantation equipment and wafers to
semiconductor manufacturers, today announced its financial results for the
third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999. Results for the
quarter reflect the typical industry adoption cycle of a new technology such
as SIMOX-SOI which can result in fluctuations in quarterly revenues and
profits.

Revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 1999 were $4,682,000,
slightly less than the $4,888,000 reported in the comparable 1998 quarter.
For the first nine months of 1999, total revenues increased approximately 20
percent to $14,237,000 from $11,888,000 reported for the first nine months of
1998. The increase in revenues for the first nine months was due to increased
equipment revenue and customer demand for SIMOX-SOI wafers.

Net income for the 1999 third quarter was $287,000 or $0.03 per share,
compared to $95,000, or $0.01 per share, in the similar period a year ago.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net income was $781,000, or
$0.10 per share, compared to a net loss of $729,000, or $0.11 per share, a
year ago. The per share numbers reflect in part the Company's public offering
of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock in August 1999.

Martin J. Reid, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ibis Technology
Corporation, stated: "In the first nine months we experienced an increase in
wafer requirements from our main wafer customers who are manufacturing
integrated circuits or optical receivers on SIMOX-SOI. We continue to see
declarations by major industry players, such as IBM, Motorola and Compaq,
announcing their intent to use SOI in future products. At the Microprocessor
Forum, IBM disclosed plans to produce a 64 bit processor, called Power4, that
will be made with copper interconnects and SOI. According to IBM, the Power4
will intergrate two 1GHz (1000 MHz) processors on a single chip. IBM stated
that Power 4 based AS/400 and RS6000 servers are planned for introduction in
the second half of 2001.

Mr. Reid continued: "Going forward, we remain encouraged about the prospects
for Ibis Technology. We believe that our current major customers will persist
in leading the way, but we are also pursuing opportunities with new
customers. Internally, we are continuing to make strategic investments in
personnel, research and development, and increased manufacturing

capabilities for both implanters and wafers in order to serve the growing
demand for SIMOX-SOI wafers. We will also accelerate the pace of our new
product development, particularly our next generation oxygen implanter and
Advantox-Registered Trademark- line of SIMOX-SOI wafer products.

SIMOX-SOI wafers are Silicon-On-Insulator wafers that enable the production
of integrated circuits which the Company believes offer significant
advantages over circuits constructed on conventional silicon or epitaxial
wafers. These advantages include improved microprocessing speed, reduced
power consumption and higher temperature operation. Ibis' SIMOX-SOI
implantation equipment consists of advanced proprietary high current Ibis
1000 oxygen implanters.

ABOUT IBIS TECHNOLOGY
Ibis Technology Corporation is headquartered in Danvers, Massachusetts and
maintains an office in Aptos, California. The Company is a premier
manufacturer and supplier of SIMOX-SOI implantation equipment and wafers for
the worldwide semiconductor industry.
