Abstract

A device includes a source and a drain for transmitting and receiving an electronic charge. The device also includes a first stack and a second stack for providing at least part of a conduction path between the source and the drain, wherein the first stack includes a first gallium nitride (GaN) layer of a first polarity, and the second stack includes a second gallium nitride (GaN) layer of the second polarity, and wherein the first polarity is different from the second polarity. At least one gate operatively connected to at least the first stack for controlling a conduction of the electronic charge, such that, during an operation of the device, the conduction path includes a first two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) channel formed in the first GaN layer and a second 2DEG channel formed in the second GaN layer.
