Abstract

An electrophotographic light-receiving member comprises a conductive substrate and a light-receiving layer having a photoconductive layer and a surface layer which are successively layered on the conductive substrate, wherein; PA1 the photoconductive layer is comprised of a non-monocrystalline material mainly composed of a silicon atom and containing at least a carbon atom, a hydrogen atom and a fluorine atom; PA1 the surface layer is mainly composed of a silicon atom and contains a carbon atom, a hydrogen atom and a halogen atom; PA1 the carbon atom in the photoconductive layer is in a non-uniform content in the layer thickness direction and in a higher content on the side of the conductive substrate and in a lower content on the side of the surface layer at every point in the layer thickness direction, and is in a content of from 0.5 atomic % to 50 atomic % at, or in the vicinity of, its surface on the side of the conductive substrate and substantially 0% R at, or in the vicinity of, its surface on the side of the surface layer; PA1 the fluorine atom in the photoconductive layer is in a content of not more than 95 atomic ppm; and PA1 the hydrogen atom in the photoconductive layer…
