Refers mathematically to a corner of an n-dimensional cube When considering a situation measured by many independent variables, the corners are the maximum or minimum of each independent variable (The cube consists of the volume spanned by all allowed values of all variables ) The most interesting corners are those where a particular effect is maximized or minimized (The analysis assumes that the resultant effect is maximized or minimized at the allowed extremes of each independent variable when the other variables are held constant at any allowed value ) For example, the lowest performance corner condition for silicon transistor drive strength would be maximum temperature, minimum voltage, and slowest process
