Abstract :
Discusses CAE techniques which have been utilized in applying `standard´ CAE tools to a somewhat nonstandard design situation-the creation of extremely high-speed digital integrated circuits on gallium arsenide substrates. This paper will concentrate chiefly on those aspects which are unique to this endeavor-the extremely high edge and data rates, for example-and the behaviors of the standard tools, which, adequate or useful for moderate speed silicon designs, have become stumbling blocks to designing GaAs ICs
