Which mechanism limits forward current through a Shockley diode?

💡 Explanation

Current is limited as the voltage increases because *Ohmic resistance heating* causes material temperature rise. This limits maximum current, therefore preventing catastrophic failure down range, rather than solely avalanche that may begin this process.
