Yes. The only one I know of is made by Audio Technica, and I
have no idea how it works..

I use two short shotguns (Sennheiser MKE-300s or
Sony ECM-Z157s) on a bracket that holds them at
different levels, pointed either slightly crossed
or slightly diverging (reversing the channels, if
crossed). The sound is not true stereo, but each
mic picks up a bit different signal, giving the
impression of stereo width rather than the
narrowness of true mono - while keeping some
directionality in the pickup pattern.
