Which risk increases when reverse bias exceeds avalanche threshold?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the avalanche threshold causes impact ionization, leading to exponentially increasing free carriers; because this positive feedback of current increases temperature, it initiates thermal runaway rather than alternatives involving timing or capacitive effects.
