 A semiconductor package is a metal, plastic, glass, or ceramic casing containing one or more discrete semiconductor devices or integrated circuits. Individual components are fabricated on semiconductor wafers (commonly silicon) before being diced into die, tested, and packaged. The package provides a means for connecting it to the external environment, such as printed circuit board, via leads such as lands, balls, or pins; and protection against threats such as mechanical impact, chemical contamination, and light exposure. Additionally, it helps dissipate heat produced by the device, with or without the aid of a heat spreader. (Wikipédia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_package)
 ### What is it used for?
-Packaging is necessary for many electronic components like RAMs, CPUs, GPUs, SSDs, etc.
