Which risk increases when ambient temperature affects MOSFET threshold voltage?

💡 Explanation

Thermal runaway is more likely because increased temperature lowers the MOSFET threshold voltage, leading to higher current leakage. The increased leakage causes more heat generation; therefore, the transistor can fail via overheating, rather than the other failure mechanisms.
