When installing a septic system for a home, do they just dig a hole in the earth and set the system in it and fill it back up with dirt?

The main thing I’m really asking, are the walls of the dirt floor supported? Do they pour a concrete structure for the system? Or just dig a hole and fill it back up? How deep and how wide are most septic systems?
