- PN junction diode parameters like reverse saturation current, bias current, reverse breakdown voltage and barrier voltage are dependent on temperature.
Mathematically diode current is given by
$I = IS * (exp(^{(V/(n*k*T/q))}) –1)$
Hence from equation we conclude that the current should decrease with increase in temperature but exactly opposite occurs …
