Amkor Technology saw income rise but earnings drop last quarter, according to its recently released third quarter earnings report.

Net sales were down 14 percent to $616 million compared with the same quarter last year; net income during that time period rose from $29 million to $81 million.

The Chandler-based semiconductor testing and packaging company employs 20,500 people and reported nearly $2.7 billion in revenue last year. Along with Toshiba Corp. and Nakaya Microdevices Corp, Amkor is opening an assembly and testing company in Japan. The new company will be called J-Corp. and will include a $17 million investment from Amkor.
