Abstract: A second member is superposed on a first member. A first recognition mark is described on the surface of the first member. A second recognition mark is described on the surface of the second members. The first recognition mark is fragmented along the edge of the second member when the second member is superposed on the first member. The second recognition mark ends at the edge of the second member. The second recognition mark cooperates with the first recognition mark for establishment of a predetermined geometric pattern. The relative positions of the first and second recognition marks can be adjusted based on an irregular or unshaped geometric pattern. The second member can thus reliably be superposed on the surface of the first member at the correct position.
