I think the smallest off the shelf package for a PIC10F20x is a 2mmx3mm
DFN (actually an 8 lead package- 2 leads are N/C)

You can buy just the die, but (with Microchip) order qty on die is in # of
wafers- you buy all the parts that come off the wafer, and the minimum
order is a non-trivial number of wafers (it ends up being a LOT of parts).
 Assembly of die is non-trivial and not something just any assembly house
can do. Bare die assembly is sometimes called "blob top."
