Which outcome occurs when thin-film deposition onto silicon proceeds unevenly?

💡 Explanation

Spatial variations in thin film thickness cause constructive and destructive thin-film interference, because light reflects from both surfaces generating the rainbow iridescence. Therefore, iridescence results rather than altered conductivity because of the variation causing light interference
