Abstract

An electrophotographic photoresponsive device for use in electrophotography comprised of a supporting substrate, and an amorphous silicon composition containing from about 25 parts per million by weight to about 1 weight percent of boron compensated with from about 25 parts per million by weight to about 1 weight percent of phosphorous, nitrogen, or arsenic. Also disclosed is a photoresponsive electrophotographic device comprised of a supporting substrate, an uncompensated amorphous silicon layer and an amorphous silicon composition containing from about 100 parts per million by weight to about 1 weight percent of boron compensated with from about 25 parts per million by weight to about 1 weight percent of phosphorous, wherein the compensation increases from zero percent compensation to one percent compensation, for a distance of from about 0.1 microns to about 5 microns, which distance extends from the uncompensated amorphous silicon layer to the compensated amorphous silicon layer or wherein the photoresponsive device is comprised of a supporting substrate, an uncompensated amorphous silicon composition, a compensated amorphous silicon composition, containing from about 100 parts…
