Abstract
An electrophotographic recording material is applied on a plate-shaped or drum-shaped substrate in a layer structure of superposed layers which comprises a photoconductive layer and at least the uppermost layer is fashioned of amorphous, hydrogen-containing carbon. The amorphous, hydrogen-containing carbon layer is deposited from a radio frequency excited low-pressure plasma with gaseous hydrocarbon as a reaction gas and in which a self-bias DC voltage is superimposed on the radio frequency field. The a-c:H material obtained in this manner is semiconducting and has photoconductive properties so that it can be employed for the photoconductive layer of the electrophotographic recording material.
