Packaging

IC*'s are made from large thin slices (the actual chips) of silicon which are etched and cut in small pieces and then packaged in all kinds of housings with generally a lot of tiny feet sticking out on all sides.
The earliest and still very commen form is the DIP (Dual* in Line Package) which is also for humans very easy to handle. Later packaging forms have all kinds of advantages like being cheaper per pin, wasting less PCB* area, being more easily handled by pick and place machines etc.

This page is about all these kinds of packages.
