The housing has several functions:
- protect the tiny fragile silicon chip from damage
- hold the pins stationary, so they do not flop about and short together
- provide a form factor large enough for either manual or machine parts placement on printed circuit boards
- be able to tolerate thermal stresses during operation without having a failure (some early leadless chip carrier housings failed this function as thermal stresses sheared all the solder joints and permitted the devices to fall off the board)
- if its a metal or glass housing, maintain a hermetic seal so that water vapor and other outside gasses cannot enter and cause contamination or corrosion
- in high power devices, provide a good path for thermal conduction away from the silicon chip and the means to attach a heatsink
- etc.

Do the integrated circuit and the microchip go together?
An integrated circuit can be either monolithic (all on one piece of semiconductor) or hybrid (several separate components attached to a tiny ceramic circuit board). A microchip is another name for a monolithic integrated circuit.
