Which consequence results when defects compromise CMOS image sensor microlenses?

💡 Explanation

Decreased light focusing onto the photodiode reduces light capture because destructive interference occurs from surface imperfections; therefore, fewer photons generate electron-hole pairs, rather than increased thermal generation, because thermal generation is irrespective of surface conditions.
