Which risk increases when the substrate temperature is poorly controlled during thin-film crystal lattice deposition?

💡 Explanation

Increased crystalline domain boundary defects result because film atoms lack sufficient thermal energy to find their optimal positions, thereby causing imperfect lattice formation via kinetic trapping, rather than forming a flawless film; therefore defects are higher, rather than improved domain boundaries or better films.
