scenario 中rc corner理解

typical: This refers to the nominal values for interconnect resistance and capacitance.

Max C: maximum capacitance. The interconnect resistance is smaller than at typical corner. This corner results in largest delay for paths with short nets and can be used for max path analysis.

Min C: minimum capacitance. The interconnect resistance is larger than at typical corner. This corner results in smallest delay for paths with short nets and can be used for min path analysis.

Max RC: maximum RC product. This results in largest resistance but corresponds to smaller than typical capacitance. Overall, this corner has the largest delay for paths with long interconnects and can be used for max path analysis.

Min RC: minimum RC product. This results in smallest resistance but corresponds to larger than typical capacitance. Overall, this corner has the smallest path delay for paths with long interconnects and can be used for min path analysis.

The path delay using Cworst / Cbest corners is extreme only for short nets while RCworst / RCbest corners is extreme only for long nets. (有木有大佬帮忙解释下，为啥C作用于short path，RC作用于long path？)The typical interconnect corner is often the extreme in terms of path delay for nets with average length. (why? typical is extreme?)
