We demonstrate precise measurement of sub-100 ps rise time on-chip electrical waveforms and of pulse propagation in digital GaAs integrated circuits with the use of picosecond electro-optic sampling. These experiments yield the first non-invasive measurement of single-gate propagation delays via direct and precise observation of on-chip waveforms at the input and output of individual logic gates internal to an integrated circuit.
