Abstract
An apparatus includes a field-effect transistor (FET). The FET includes a region of first semiconductor and a layer of second semiconductor that is located on the region of the first semiconductor. The layer and region form a semiconductor heterostructure. The FET also includes source and drain electrodes that are located on one of the region and the layer and a gate electrode located to control a conductivity of a channel portion of the semiconductor heterostructure. The channel portion is located between the source and drain electrodes. The gate electrode is located vertically over the channel portion and portions of the source and drain electrodes.
