Thermal runaway is where the biasing and operating point is such that the temperature causes the gain to increase, which causes the temperature to increase, which causes the gain to increase, in a vicious circle, leading to destruction of the BJT. Proper biasing and gain management can prevent this from occurring.

in FET the conduction is due to the majority carriers. here the minority carrier conduction doesn't takes place as in BJT. hence the current flow depends only on the majority carriers . hence ther is no thermal runaway in FET.
Thermal runaway is not possible in FET because of?
pain
The excess heat produced at the collector base junction may even burn and destroy the transistor.This situation is called thermal runaway.
when u masturbrate
mainly i will tell ttwo advantages:- 1)in FET "thermal runaway" never occurs but in bjt it occurs easily...thermal runaway means overheating and damage of fet due to different biasing voltages.. 2) since FET is a unipolar device so only one carrier type is required here ,but bjt is a bipolar device .. 3) FET is smaller in size than BJT of same rating. i mean to say that at the place of 10 bjts we can use 90 FETs ..so area cosumption is less
very safely
because they are.
If the beta (β) of a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) increases with temperature, it can lead to enhanced current gain, resulting in greater amplification of the input signal. However, this increase in beta can also cause thermal instability, as a rise in temperature can lead to higher leakage currents, potentially driving the transistor into saturation. Additionally, increased beta may exacerbate thermal runaway conditions, where rising temperatures lead to even higher currents and further temperature increases, risking device failure. Proper thermal management and biasing techniques are essential to mitigate these effects.
Actually, the BJT is a positive temperature coefficient device. As they get warm, hFe increases, causing more current flow. This can lead to thermal runaway. That is why most class A common emitter configurations use an emitter resistor to place limits on the hFe demand, eliminating thermal drift and runaway.
caz they have a positive temperature coefficient
