Trim cut with Qrate adjustment

A system for fabricating an electronic component, the system comprising:

• a laser cutting tool configured to remove material from a feature of an electronic component, the feature having opposite first and second sides spaced apart from one another along a first direction, and third and fourth sides spaced apart from one another along an orthogonal second direction;
• and
• a controller configured to:
• control the laser cutting tool at a first pulse rate and translate the laser cutting tool to form a first cut portion in the feature of the electronic component, the first cut portion extending from the third side toward the fourth side along the second direction;
• control the laser cutting tool at a higher second pulse rate and translate the laser cutting tool to form a second cut portion extending from the first cut portion toward the fourth side;
• and
• control the laser cutting tool at a third pulse rate and translate the laser cutting tool to form a final cut portion extending from the second cut portion toward the fourth side, the third pulse rate less than the second pulse rate.
