Abstract
High speed digital GaAs ICs have demonstrated a speed advantage over comparable Si ICs. However, one must ask if a very short gate delay is sufficient for high speed digital applications. To be considered too are the potential user areas (general purpose computers, number crunching computers, parallel processing, high-speed signal processing and/or communication interfaces) and if higher speed, lower complexity GaAs digital ICs provide an overall system advantage over the slower, but more complex Si technologies . . .Panelists will address this problem as it applies to their diverse backgrounds and needs, and attempt to define areas where GaAs digital ICs will provide a speed advantage.
