Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process of preparing a selenium charge carrier plate or foil wherein a non-conductive layer of selenium is evaporated onto a metal foil.
- an image can be produced in that an image plate or drum coated with a photoconductive selenium layer, is charged to an electric potential and, by exposure, there is formed a charge distribution corresponding to the image pattern.
- the image is made visible by means of a non-conductive electroscopic powder. This powder image is then transferred to a paper tape, and fixed thereon.
- the selenium layer is deposited by evaporating the selenium under vacuum, and by condensing the vapor on the cold metal surface of the image plate or drum or foil respectively.
- the temperature of this cold surface is usually kept below 50 C. In order to subject as much of the surface a possible to evaporation during the time unit, evaporation speed has up to now always been kept at a high deposition rate.
- the inventive process is particularly suitable for charge carrier foils.
- an intermediate layer which does not impair the electrical and imaging properties of the selenium layer.
- This layer of lacquer consists of polyvinylacetal as the base material, to which there is added a portion of lampblack for increasing the conductivity, and which also contains ethyl acetal and methanol as non-conductive solvents. Since the surroundings are dust free, the surface of the layer of lacquer is very plane.
- This layer is preferably deposited onto the metal foil in a thickness of l to 2 microns, and has a conductivity of about 1.5 siemens when containing a lampblack component of about Thereafter, the coated foil is tempered, i.e. is held in a heat furnace at a temperature of 150 C for a period of about 8 hours. Prior to this tempering heating process and the subsequent cooling, the layer of lacquer is polished by the application of pressure, in order to further improve the smooth surface finish.
- the selenium is evaporated onto a metal surface of a layer support member to a thickness of about 60 microns under a pressure not exceeding about 10- torr (mm Hg) at a deposition rate of about 0.5 microns per minute.
- the temperature of the metal backing member during the evaporation process is kept constant at about 60 C.
- approximately 0.5 per cent by weight of arsenic is added to the layer of selenium during evaporation of the selenium.
