Semiconductor Packaging > Summary
A semiconductor package is a metal, plastic, glass, or ceramic casing containing one or more semiconductor electronic components. Individual discrete components are typically etched in silicon wafer before being cut and assembled in a package. The package provides protection against impact and corrosoion, holds the contact pins or leads which are used to connect from external circuits to the device, and dissipates heat produced in the device.
Thousands of standard package types are made,with some made to industry-wide standards and some particular to an individual manufacturer.
