About Capcon / 华封科技

Beijing Huafeng Technology, operating as Capcon Semiconductor, is a high-end equipment manufacturer focused on the advanced semiconductor packaging sector. Founded in Hong Kong in 2014 by co-founders Feng Yu, Honggang Wang, and Hongbo Wang, the company has established a significant presence with operations in Beijing, Suzhou, Kaohsiung, and Singapore. The founding members each possess approximately 30 years of experience in the semiconductor industry. Co-founders Feng Yu and Honggang Wang previously worked in the R&D teams of industry heavyweights like K&S, ESEC, and UIC. Feng Yu specialized in precision electromechanical systems and system integration, while Honggang Wang focused on electrical system hardware, servo drives, and data analysis. Hongbo Wang is responsible for investment, financing strategy, and market expansion.

The company provides a comprehensive suite of semiconductor assembly and packaging equipment, positioning itself as a key supplier for the back-end processes of semiconductor manufacturing. Its business model revolves around the design, production, and sale of this specialized machinery to Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) companies, integrated device manufacturers (IDM), and fabless semiconductor companies. Capcon serves a notable client base that includes 7 of the top 10 semiconductor companies globally, such as ASE, SPIL, NEPES, and TFME. A significant milestone was a three-year supply agreement established with ASE in early 2022.

Capcon’s product portfolio includes a range of die bonders designed for various advanced packaging applications, such as flip-chip, wafer-level packaging, panel-level packaging, and System-in-Package (SiP). The equipment is engineered for high precision, speed, and stability, addressing critical requirements for advanced processes like Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging (FOWLP), 2.5D/3D packaging, and Flip Chip Ball Grid Array (FCBGA). The company has developed six product series—Andromeda, Leo, Reticulum, Monoceros, Venus, and Eridani—to support diverse and advanced manufacturing processes. A key feature of their equipment is the ability to combine 80% standardized modules with 20% customized development, allowing for rapid technological iteration. For instance, their equipment can reportedly achieve speeds two to three times faster than competitors at the same level of precision. The company's focus on non-standard, emerging processes allows it to deliver solutions that can be 50 percent higher or even double the units per hour (UPH) compared to competitors.

Financially, Capcon has attracted significant investment from prominent venture capital firms. In early 2023, the company secured approximately $50 million in a Series B2 funding round with participation from Cowin Capital, Chengchuang Capital, Hillhouse Capital, and Shangqi Capital. This followed earlier investments from institutions like Bank of China International, Oriza Holdings, and Intel. In August 2023, it raised further strategic investment in a round led by Wise Road Capital.
