1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a semiconductor chip, its position defining a plane;
an insulating substrate having first and second surfaces, the substrate substantially coplanar with the chip;
one of the chip sides attached to the first substrate surface using adhesive material, the material having a thickness;
the adhesive material thickness distributed so that the thickness under the central chip area is smaller than the material thickness under the peripheral chip areas; and
encapsulation compound embedding all remaining chip sides and the portions of the first substrate surface not involved in the chip attachment.
