conductivity of semiconductors increases with increase in temperature as breakdown of covalent bonds take place in the semiconductor due to increase in temp but more & more increase in the temp may result in the breakdown or damage of the semiconductor which results in the decrease in conductivity of semiconductor

when the temperature increase, the collector current also increase. It is because of the intrinsic semiconductor current.

What is junction temperature of the transistor?

The junction temperature is limited by the relationship between temperature and life, and the characteristics of the materials composing the transistor. Furthermore, transistors use minority carriers and thus are easily affected by temperature. In particular , if the temperature rises in a reverse-biased collector-base junction, carriers are generated without relation to the signal, the operating point shifts, and in the worst case thermal runaway occurs and the transistor becomes damaged. For this reason, the circuit must be designed so as to prevent the junction temperature from rising. Transistor deterioration occurs quickly when the junction temperature rises.
