Which optical effect impairs lithographic resolution when illuminating silicon wafers?

💡 Explanation

Increased illumination increases speckle contrast because lower spatial coherence yields a more granular intensity distribution; therefore, resolution suffers, rather than from chromatic aberration that can be precisely corrected on modern machines.
