99.1               Press release dated April 23, 2002.

EXHIBIT 99.1

CHANDLER, Ariz. & TOKYO -- April 23, 2002--Amkor Technology, Inc.
(Nasdaq:AMKR) and Fujitsu Limited (TSE:6702) have signed a non-binding
memorandum of understanding calling for Amkor's staged equity purchase of
Fujitsu's semiconductor assembly and test operation located in Kagoshima,
Japan. The agreement would significantly enhance Amkor's penetration of the
Japanese market for outsourced semiconductor assembly and test while enabling
Fujitsu to improve production competitiveness and focus on its core business
operations.

Under the terms of the agreement, a joint venture company would be formed
through Amkor's acquisition of 67 percent of Fujitsu's interest in Kyushu
Fujitsu Electronics Ltd. The joint venture company would operate for three
years, after which Amkor would buy out the remaining 33 percent for a
predetermined amount. The joint venture company would also enjoy a five-year
agreement to provide manufacturing services to Fujitsu.

Kyushu Fujitsu Electronics currently provides assembly and test services to
Fujitsu Limited and more than 20 third-party customers using a variety of
traditional and leading-edge package technologies, including bump chip carrier
(BCC) and stacked multi-chip packages (S-MCP), which incorporate as many as 8
die per package. During 2001 the company had assembly and test revenues
equivalent to approximately US$100 million.

"This assembly and test venture with Fujitsu, a global IT solutions leader and
one of the world's leading semiconductor companies, is further evidence that
the Japan semiconductor industry continues to move toward an outsourcing
model," said John Boruch, Amkor's president and chief operating officer. "The
joint venture would bring together Fujitsu's outstanding engineering talent
and packaging technology with Amkor's operational expertise and broad market
access to create a world-class contract assembly and test factory. The
addition of this joint venture company with Amkor Iwate, our outsourcing
venture with Toshiba, creates a second powerful operational presence in Japan
and allows Amkor to provide Japanese semiconductor manufacturers with an
unmatched array of outsourced assembly and test services," said Boruch.

"Fujitsu has been vigorously pursuing a comprehensive structural reform
program aimed at enhancing competitiveness," said Masamichi Ogura, Group
President of Fujitsu's Electronic Devices Business Group. "Our proposed joint
venture with Amkor would allow us to lower operating costs and capital
requirements, as well as focus on our core competencies - namely, developing
and delivering high-performance / high-reliability semiconductor products and
high value-added services. We're confident this will make a positive
contribution to reinforcing our overall position in the semiconductor
business."

Located on Japan's "Silicon Island," which is the home of many of Japan's
leading edge wafer fabs, the joint venture with Fujitsu would incorporate four
buildings covering 300,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing area, with ample space on
the campus for additional manufacturing. Amkor would manage the operations,
including its relationship with independent subcontractors. It is contemplated
that all employees of Kyushu Fujitsu Electronics working on assembly and test
services would be employed by the new joint venture company.

The formation and structure of the joint venture company are subject to the
negotiation and execution of definitive agreements as well as any necessary
corporate and regulatory approvals. Amkor and Fujitsu anticipate that the
transaction will be completed early in the third quarter of 2002.
