Which consequence when imperfections disrupt coherence within microchip lithography?

💡 Explanation

Reduced feature resolution arises because disrupted coherence degrades the projection of the mask pattern onto the wafer via the **loss of constructive interference**. Therefore, resolution drops, rather than uniformity improving, because incoherent light scatters rather than focusing properly.
