How does the temperature affect collector current in saturation?

The temperature has a significant effect on the collector current in saturation of a bipolar junction transistor . As the temperature increases, the collector current in saturation also increases. This is due to two main factors:

The intrinsic carrier concentration of the BJT increases with temperature. This means that more electrons and holes are available to participate in conduction, which increases the collector current.
The bandgap voltage of the BJT decreases with temperature. This means that it takes less energy to excite electrons from the valence band to the conduction band, which also increases the collector current.
