The upper block 12 contacts the bearing block 20, and the bearing block 20
is coupled to the upper plate 21. The upper block 12 has a protruding
part 22 on the upper surface that is worked into a convex surface with a
radius of R1, and the bearing block 20 has a recessed part 23 in the
undersurface that is worked into a concave surface with a radius of R2
(R2>R1). As a result of such a construction being used, the pressing
surface of the upper pressing plate 15 always conforms to the surface of
the quartz crystal substrate 11 during pressing, so that a uniform load
is applied to the quartz crystal substrate 11. As a result, the surface
of the quartz crystal can be uniformly pressed in the hot pressing
method.
