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.
