PURPOSE:To enhance photosensitivity by successively laminating an a-SiC photoconductive layer and an organic photosemiconductive layer on a conductive substrate, specifying an elementary proportion of the layer, and incorporating a specified amount of an element of group Va of the periodic table. CONSTITUTION:The electrophotographic sensitive body is formed by successively laminating on the conductive substrate 1 the amorphous silicon carbide a-SiC photoconductive layer 2 and the organic photosemiconductive layer 3. The layer 2 is composed of Si, C, and H or halogen elements represented by an elementary composition formula: (Si1-xCx)1-yAy, where A is hydrogen or halogen, and 0.05 < x < 0.5, and 0.2 < y < 0.5, and containing further an element of group Va of the periodic table in an amount of <=100ppm, thus permitting the obtained electrophotographic sensitive body to be high in photosensitivity. |
