Electrophotographic photosensitive member and electrophotographic apparatus

摘要

The present invention provides an electrophotographic photosensitive member including: a conductive substrate; a photoconductive layer on the conductive substrate; and a surface layer made of hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide on the photoconductive layer, wherein (C/(Si+C)) in the surface layer is 0.61 to 0.75 (both inclusive), Si+C atom density in the surface layer is 6.60 × 10 22 atoms/cm 3 or more, and arithmetic average roughness Ra of the surface layer is 0.029 µm to 0.500 µm (both inclusive), and an electrophotographic apparatus including the electrophotographic photosensitive member.
