ルを持つことに起因している。<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> Amorphous silicon photoconductive material J) One of the problems is the afterimage phenomenon. This phenomenon is caused by the fact that amorphous silicon has an exponentially distributed pantotile at the band edges of the valence band and the 1-band conduction band.

However, if the charging exposure is repeated in a short period of time, the carriers captured by the strong electric field during the next charging are released (Po

This phenomenon does not occur because the mobility of the electron ('i-) is sufficiently low; however, in amorphous silicon, the mobility of electrons is generally larger than that of the original, so this phenomenon appears in positively charged copy samples. It is.

認した。<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the present inventors focused on the fact that the afterimage phenomenon is reduced by reducing the μτ product of electrons in the carrier transport layer of the photoreceptor. As a result of examining the formation conditions of the carrier transport layer, it was discovered that the μτ product of electrons could be controlled by regulating the flow rate of 8 2 Ha gas in the film formation process, and the R2Hi
The flow rate ratio of gas and S i H4 gas is 3.3:・10-7
It was confirmed that the intended purpose could be achieved by doing the following.
