The present invention relates to a method for pre-characterizing a timing delay curve of a first circuit component, wherein the timing delay curve has a first, curvilinear region and a second, linear region. The method includes determining a first delay equation representing the first, curvilinear region of the delay curve, determining a second delay equation representing the second, linear region of the delay curve, and determining a corner capacitance representing a transition point from the first, curvilinear region to the second, linear region. The present invention further relates to a method of determining a scaling factor and applying the scaling factor to a pre-characterized base component to characterize the timing delay curve of additional circuit components
