PHOTOCONDUCTIVE MEMBER COMPRISING LAYER OF A-SI/A-SI(GE)/A-SI(O)

摘要

A light-receiving member comprises a substrate for light- receiving member and a light-receiving layer having photoconductivity provided on said substrate, said light-receiving layer comprising from the side of said substrate a first layer (I) comprising an amorphous material containing silicon atoms, a second layer (II) comprising an amorphous material containing silicon atoms and germanium atoms and a third layer (III) comprising an amorphous material containing silicon atoms and oxygen atoms, and the germanium atoms contained in said second layer (II) being distributed ununiformly in the layer thickness direction of said layer.
