Abstract: A first substrate ( 11 a) is positioned on a support surface ( 7 ) in a vacuum chamber with an upward-facing first bonding surface ( 12 a) spin-coated with adhesive while a second substrate ( 11 b) is held with downward-facing second bonding surface ( 12 b) to a cover ( 3 ) by suction. While the vacuum chamber is being evacuated to a pressure of between 0.1 mbar and 2 mbar, a support pin ( 9 ) is extended through central openings ( 14 a, 14 b) of the substrates ( 11 a, 11 b) and then retracted with the second substrate ( 11 b) released from the cover ( 3 ) and carried by radially extended balls ( 10 ). The support pin ( 9 ) is lowered to a position where the balls ( 10 ), acting against the first bonding surface ( 12 a), deform the first substrate ( 11 a). The first bonding surface ( 12 a) being therefore slightly concave, the first and second bonding surfaces ( 12 a, 12 b) only touch close to their circumferences. Retraction of the balls ( 10 ) causes a spreading of the contact area radially inwards to cover the first and second bonding surfaces ( 12 a, 12 b) without entrapment of non-bonded areas. The substrates ( 11 a, 11 b) are then lifted by the support pin ( 9 ) with again extended balls ( 10 ) and pressed against the cover ( 3 ) and the vacuum chamber is aired.

Abstract: An analog filter circuit in which filter characteristic deviation can be adjusted with simple circuitry and its adjustment method can be provided. The analog filter circuit includes a low pass filter and a high pass filter and output signals of both filters are input to a comparison and adjustment section from which an adjustment signal is fed back to the low pass and high pass filters and also input to a predetermined-band pass filter having predetermined correlation to the low pass and high pass filters. The low pass and high pass filters are tuned so that the frequency-gain characteristic line in an attenuation band of the low pass filter linearly falls, while that line of the high pass filter linearly rises, both the lines crossing at a reference frequency. When filter characteristic deviation occurs, it is adjusted to compensate gain difference between the output signals produced by filtering the reference signal with a reference frequency and, accordingly, the predetermined-band pass filter is adjusted to its desired filter characteristic.
