1. An electronic device chip scale package, comprising:
a substrate configured as a support structure for the chip scale package comprising a first cutting edge and a second cutting edge;
a semiconductor die with a die circuitry attached to the substrate;
an encapsulant on the substrate encapsulating the semiconductor die;
a connection disposed on a tapered surface extending from the die circuitry to a plurality of terminal contacts for the chip scale package on the encapsulant, the connection being exposed by the first cutting edge; and
an isolation structure disposed only on the first cutting edge passivating the exposed connection such that the surface of the isolation structure is leveled with the surface of the second cutting edge,
wherein the tapered surface extends from a surface of the chip scale package to the first cutting edge.
