An embodiment of a complementary GaN integrated circuit includes a GaN layer with a first bandgap. A second layer with a second bandgap is formed on the GaN layer, resulting in a 2DEG in a contact region between the GaN layer and the second layer. The second layer has a relatively thin portion and a relatively thick portion. A third layer is formed over the relatively thick portion of the second layer. The third layer has a third bandgap that is different from the second bandgap, resulting in a 2DHG in a contact region between the second layer and the third layer. A transistor of a first conductivity type includes the 2DHG, the relatively thick portion of the second layer, and the third layer, and a transistor of a second conductivity type includes the 2DEG and the relatively thin portion of the second layer.
