Abstract

An electrophotographic photoconductor is disclosed, which comprises a support material, an intermediate layer, a photosensitive layer and a surface protection layer for protecting the photosensitive layer, which are successively overlaid on the support material, and the photosensitive layer comprises an amorphous silicon carbon nitride containing at least hydrogen or halogen having the formula of a-Si:C:N(H.X), where X represents halogen, or an amorphous silicon carbon nitride of the formula of a-Si:C:N:O(H.X) (where X represents halogen) which contains at least hydrogen or halogen.
