We demonstrate how gradient ascent pulse engineering optimal control methods can be implemented on donor-electron-spin qubits in Si semiconductors with an architecture complementary to the original Kane's proposal. We focus on the high-fidelity-controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate and explicitly find its digitized control sequences by optimizing its fidelity over the external controls of the hyperfine A and exchange J interactions. This high-fidelity-CNOT gate has an error of about 10^\ensuremath-6, below the error threshold required for fault-tolerant quantum computation, and its operation time of 100 ns is about three times faster than 297 ns of the proposed global control scheme. It also relaxes significantly the stringent distance constraint of two neighboring donor atoms of 10--20 nm as reported in the original Kane's proposal to about 30 nm in which surface A and J gates may be built with current fabrication technology. The effects of the control voltage fluctuations, the dipole-dipole interaction, and the electron-spin decoherence on the CNOT gate fidelity are also discussed.
