Abstract

A photoconductive member comprises a support and an amorphous layer comprising a first layer region and a second layer region, the first layer region having photoconductivity comprising an amorphous material which comprises silicon atoms as a matrix and at least one member selected from hydrogen atoms and halogen atoms as a constituent, the first layer region having a layer region (I) containing an impurity controlling the electroconductivity type at the support side, and the second layer region comprising an amorphous material comprising at least both silicon and carbon as constituents.
