Laser interference lithography creates nanoscale patterns; which consequence results when vibrations are present during the exposure?

💡 Explanation

Vibrations introduce stage displacement and affect constructive interference. The optical path fluctuation causes *destructive interference*, therefore blurring edges and reducing resolution, rather than sharper features, because sharp features rely on stationary interference to properly expose the resist.
