Which optical consequence results when tolerances induce surface variations during multi-layer microchip fabrication?

💡 Explanation

Surface variations across layers leads to variable optical path lengths. This results in constructive and destructive interference because the phase difference between reflections varies. Therefore it affects interference, rather than scattering or angle-specific transmission, depending on periodicity.
