A method for manufacturing an electrophotographic photosensitive member is provided, wherein high levels of prevention of charge-up and prevention of secondary reactions are achieved. In the manufacturing of an electrophotographic photosensitive member by applying an alternating voltage of a rectangular wave having a frequency of 3 kHz or more and 300 kHz or less between an electrode and a cylindrical base member so that the potential at one of the electrode and the cylindrical base member with respect to the potential at the other becomes alternately positive and negative, to decompose a raw material gas, and forming a deposited film on the cylindrical base member, one of the absolute value of the potential difference between the electrode and the cylindrical base member when a potential at one of the electrode and the cylindrical base member with respect to a potential at the other becomes positive and the absolute value of the potential difference between the electrode and the cylindrical base member when a potential at one of the electrode and the cylindrical base member with respect to a potential at the other becomes negative is a value less than the absolute value of a discharge maintaining voltage, and the other is a value greater than or equal to the absolute value of a discharge starting voltage. |
