  • Abstract
    This paper, which is a tutorial on high-speed GaAs digital IC´s, was given as one of the 1984-1985 MTT-S Distinguished Microwave Lectures. It reviews GaAs FET technology and issues related to device/ circuit design and fabrication of digital circnits of MSI/LSI complexity operating at gigahertz clock frequencies; discusses limitations of the technology; compares GaAs technology with competing Si bipolar transistors, GaAIAs HEMT, and GaAIAs HBT technologies and projects performance of GaAs digital IC technology in applications where it will have a significant impact on microwave systems.
