Abstract
A photosensitive member for electrophotography comprising a photoconductive layer formed on an electro- conductive support, in which the photoconductive layer is composed of an amorphous silicon germanium layer formed by electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) method and containing hydrogen and/or halogen in an amount of more than 40 at. % to 65 at. % and an amorphous silicon nitride layer formed by ECR method and containing hydrogen and/or halogen in an amount of more than 40 at. % to 60 at. %, the amorphous silicon nitride layer being laminated on the amorphous silicon germanium layer; said member exhibiting an increased sensitivity to laser rays having a long wavelength and an improved charge retention capacity.
