Description
本発明の実施形態に係る電子写真感光体について、図1を用いて説明する。
プラズマCVD装置2は、支持体3を真空反応室4に収容したものであり、回転手段5、原料ガス供給手段6および排気手段7をさらに備えている。
次に、プラズマCVD装置2を用いた堆積膜の形成方法について、円筒状基体10に感光層11としてアモルファスシリコン(a−Si)膜が、表面層12としてアモルファス炭化シリコン(a−SiC)膜とアモルファスカーボン(a−C)膜とが積層された電子写真感光体1(図1を参照)を作製する場合を例にとって説明する。
本発明の実施形態に係る画像形成装置について、図3を用いて説明する。
本発明の実施形態に係る電子写真感光体1について、次の通り評価を行なった。
<円筒状基体10>
円筒状基体10は、アルミニウム合金素管(外径:30mm、長さ360mm)を用いて作製した。円筒状基体10の外周面に対して、鏡面加工、およびウェットブラスト加工を行ない、洗浄した。
研磨材濃度:10〜18%
投射エア圧:0.10〜0.35MPa
投射距離(ワーク中心とブラストヘッド間距離):20〜300mm
投射時間:1〜60秒間
ワーク回転数:120〜180rpm
なお、異なる研磨材材質・粒径を用いることによってSalの値を調整するとともに、投射エア圧、投射距離および投射時間(1〜60秒間)を変化させることによって、Strの値を調整した。
電荷注入阻止層11aは、アモルファスシリコン(a−Si)に窒素(N)および酸素(O)を加えたアモルファスシリコン(a−Si)系材料に、ドーパントとしてホウ素(B)を含有させたものである。
光導電層11bは、アモルファスシリコン(a−Si)に炭素(C)、窒素(N)および酸素(O)などを加えたアモルファスシリコン(a−Si)系材料に、ドーパントとしてホウ素(B)を含有させたものである。
表面層12は、アモルファス炭化シリコン(a−SiC)とアモルファスカーボン(a−C)とを積層した構成である。
電子写真感光体1は、Salの値に起因して初期不良が生じた場合(サンプル14および15)を除き、Strの値が0.67以上の場合(サンプル2,3,5,6,8,9,11および12)には、優れた効果を奏することが分かった。その中でも、Strの値が0.79以上の場合(サンプル3,6,9および12)には、より優れた効果を奏することが分かった。
