Abstract

A light receiving member comprises a light receiving layer of a multi-layer structure having a first layer comprising an amorphous material containing silicon atoms and germanium atoms, a second layer comprising an amorphous material containing silicon atoms and exhibiting photoconductivity and a surface layer having reflection preventive function provided on a substrate successively from the substrate side, said light receiving layer containing at least one selected from oxygen atoms, carbon atoms and nitrogen atoms and having at least one pair of non-parallel interfaces within a short range and said non-parallel interfaces being arranged in a large number in at least one direction within the plane perpendicular to the layer thickness direction.
