Electrophotographic photoreceptor comprising amorphous silicon layer coated with amorphous inorganic material

摘要

A photoreceptor with a photoconductive layer of amorphous silicon has an overcoating layer to protect the photoconductive layer and to prevent formation of SiO.sub.x. The overcoating layer is amorphous C. sub.1-x X. sub.x, Ge.sub.1-x X.sub.x, (BNGe).sub.1-x X.sub.x or (BNC).sub. 1-x X.sub. x where x is greater than or equal to 0 and smaller than 0.5 and X is H, F or Cl.
