Same as the DIPs. Where on earth did you look !?
It should be perfectly clear from the Microchip web site.

I happen to have a few sheets of 0.20, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.80 mm
double sided FR4 laminate. Size 8"x12". The thinner are not *that*
heavy, and I could easily ship from Sweden in a few days.
You could contact me directly on
jan-erik-dot-soderholm-at-telia-dot-com if you're interested.
