Narrow channel devices were fabricated using a split‐gate high electron mobility transistor structure in which electrons are forced through a double‐bend discontinuity. The low‐temperature conductance shows a number of peaks in the lowest quantized conductance plateau which correspond qualitatively to resonance effects that are predicted for the geometrical discontinuities of the double bend.
