Which consequence results when reverse leakage current exceeds thermal runaway limits in a power diode?

💡 Explanation

Avalanche breakdown occurs because the increasing leakage current generates excessive heat, leading to a further rise in current via positive feedback: the thermal runaway mechanism. Therefore, the diode self-destructs, rather than simply changing other parameters if properly heatsinked.
