We know that semiconductor has a negative temperature coefficient characteristics So, due to the increase in temperature there is a increase in current, which results in getting the different Operating Point (i.e Q point).

The total value of collector current is given by collector current+reverse saturation current. For every 10 degree raise in temp the reverse saturation current doubles thereby increasing the collector current. As the collector current increases the diode operating point shifts towards breakdown region which in turn increases the temperature and continuing the above process (early effect).

Even diode is a nonlinear device it has a voltage range of 0.5-0.7volt. This can be varied by means of high temperature.

At a rise of 10 degrees of temperature the reverse saturation current increases a twice. So, due to the increase in current there is a increase in voltage, which results in getting the different Operating Point(i.e Q point).

The diode characteristics differ due to temperature.

Because of heat the temprature of junction increases i.e reverse saturation current hence total forward current which shifts the q point.

The forweard voltage for the diode shifts due to heat
