Nakaya Microdevices Corporation, Amkor Technology, Inc. and Toshiba Corporation today announced that they are continuing their negotiations of definitive agreements pursuant to a non-binding memorandum of understanding for the formation of a joint venture in Japan to provide system LSI assembly and testing services.
