 To overcome these issues, a “dual-stage MQW” structure was proposed to enhance the electron injection and improve the crystalline quality of the overlying MQW.  As an effort to do so, a triangular quantum well (TQW) structure in the InGaN/GaN MQW active region has been recently proposed to weaken the polarization field.  In this paper, we propose a LED structure, named shallow TQW structure, to improve the emission property of LED devices.
