An image-forming member for electro-photography has a photoconductive layer comprising a hydrogenated amorphous semiconductor composed of silicon and/or germanium as a matrix and at least one chemical modifier such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen contained in the matrix.

Image forming member for electrophotography

A layer of amorphous silicon containing H, preferably 10-40 atomic % H, is used as a photoconductive layer for electrophotographic photosensitive member.

Electrophotographic photosensitive member and process for production

An electrophotographic process is conducted by charging a cylindrical photosensitive member having a photoconductive layer of amorphous silicon containing 10 to 40 atomic % hydrogen; imagewise exposing the member to form an electrostatic latent image; developing the latent image to form a toner image; transferring the toner image to an image receiving sheet and thereafter cleaning the surface of the cylindrical member with a cleaning blade.

A layer of amorphous silicon containing H, preferably 10-40 atomic % H, which is used as a photoconductive layer for electrophotographic photosensitive member, is formed by plasma CVD using a silane gas of a higher than monosilane.
