The answer
What kind of components are suitable for long-term storage? All semiconductor devices are subject to long-term storage. Plastic might be the most sensitive component in this regard.
The internal silicon within a component, or wafers, can also be stored. Components like plastic devices, wafers, or die can be stored.
If ceramic components are hermetically sealed to military standards, you do not have the risk of moisture or atmospheric concerns getting into the device cavity.
Additionally, intermetallic issues are less of a concern because these components have been sealed and nitrogen-flus
