Abstract

An electrophotographic photosensitive member, which is used for electrophotography, has a high dark resistivity and a high durability and achieves high charge acceptability and retentivity, the electrophotographic photosensitive member comprising a substrate, a photoconductive layer, a barrier layer provided between the substrate and the photoconductive layer for substantially inhibiting injection of carriers from the substrate to the photoconductive layer, and a covering layer provided on the photoconductive layer, wherein the layers are formed of amorphous hydrogenated silicon carbide doped with impurities.
