Mean field analysis of the effective interfacial Hamiltonian shows that with increasing temperature the adsorption on a periodically corrugated substrate can proceed in two steps: first, there is the filling transition in which the depressions of the substrate become partially or completely filled; then there is the wetting transition at which the substrate as a whole becomes covered with a macroscopically thick wetting layer. The actual order and location of both transitions are related to the wetting properties of the corresponding planar substrate and to the form of corrugation. Certain morphological properties of the liquid-vapor interface in the case of a saw-like corrugated substrate are discussed analytically
