Which phenomenon disrupts nanoscale optical lithography using deep ultraviolet lasers?

💡 Explanation

Speckle patterns reduce image contrast because they stem from random interference due to poor temporal coherence of the laser; therefore speckle disrupts fine feature printing rather than blurring from aberrations or diffraction effects at mask edges.
