Summary: 
An overview on the physics and circuit design oriented background of the advanced compact model HICUM is presented. Related topics such as the approach employed for geometry scaling and parameter extraction are briefly discussed. A model hierarchy is introduced, that addresses a variety of requirements encountered during the increasingly complicated task of designing analog and high-frequency circuits.
