Which consequence results when spatial coherence diminishes in lithography lasers?

💡 Explanation

Diminished spatial coherence causes a lack of consistent phase relationships across the laser beam, undermining diffraction-limited focusing. This leads to broadened point-spread-function blurring feature edges because the diminished interference degrades the projected resist pattern rather than affecting material properties, adhesion, or thermal effects therefore.
