PURPOSE:To obtain a photoconductive member which is superior in electrical, opitical and photoconductive characteristics and environment characteristics to be used by providing a nonphotoconductive amorphous material layer contg. Si and O between a substrate and a photoconductive layer. CONSTITUTION:A photoconductive member 100 is constituted of an intermediate layer 102 and a photoconductive layer 103 provided in the state of direct contact with said layer 102 on a substrate 101 for the photoconductive member. The substrate 101 may be either conductive or of electrically insulation characteristic. The layer 102 consists of the nonphotoconductive amorphous material expressed by the formula SixO1-x (0<x<1) contg. silicon atoms and oxygen atoms. Said layer 102 has the functions of blocking the inflow of arriers from the side of the substrate 101 into the layer 103 effectively and permits the passage of the photocarriers produced in the layer 103 by the irradiation of electromagnetic waves and moving toward the side of the substrate 101 from the side of the layer 103 to the side of the substrate 101 easily. |
