PHOTORECEPTOR MEMBER

摘要

A photoreceptor member having a photoreceptor layer comprising silicon (Si) as a base, and a non-silicon substance containing a hydrogen atom (H) and/or a halogen (X) and less than 0.9 ppm each of a chromium atom (Cr), an iron atom (Fe), a nickel atom (Ni), a sodium atom (Na) and a magnesium atom (Mg). The photoreceptor member can be used for electronic devices such as an image forming member for electrophotography, a solar cell, etc., and it maintains its initial characteristics for a long time of continuous operation.
