[0022] In order to meet these requirements, the surface layer used to protect the surface of the photosensitive member should have a lower loss to incident light and have a thinner structure, but a thinner structure is actually unrealistic for conventional surface layer materials

example 1

[0097] The plasma CVD apparatus shown in FIG. 2 was used to deposit a lower stopper layer and a photoconductive layer on a cylindrical aluminum substrate under the conditions shown in Table 1 in the following order, and then in the following order. A surface layer is formed under conditions to complete a photosensitive member (drum). In this operation, CF 4 The flow rate of 1 was varied at five levels in the range of 20 to 100 sccm as shown in Table 4, while the high-frequency power was varied at three levels in the range of 800 to 1200 W, thereby obtaining five photosensitive members. Pre-measurement of the samples confirmed that in the above CF 4 In the range of flow and high frequency power, 1120cm -1 / 2920cm -1 The peak area ratios ranged from 0.14 to 47.8, while 1200cm -1 / 2920cm -1 The peak area ratio was in the range from 0.31 to 48.3.

example 3

[0159] The plasma CVD apparatus shown in FIG. 2 was used to deposit a lower stopper layer and a photoconductive layer on a cylindrical aluminum substrate under the conditions shown in Table 1 in the following order, and in this way six layers were fabricated. a photosensitive component. The plasma CVD apparatus shown in FIG. 2 was then used under the conditions shown in Table 6, using six fluorine-containing gases CF 4 , CHF 3 , CF 2 F 6 , CF 2 =CF 2 , CIF 3 and SF 6 , forming a surface layer. In this operation, pre-measurement of the sample confirms that in the above CF 4 In the range of flow and high frequency power, 1120cm -1 / 2920cm -1 The peak area ratio of and 1200cm -1 / 2920cm -1 The peak area ratios are all in the range from 10 to 30.

Abstract

There is provided a light-receiving member comprising a photoconductive layer provided on an electroconductive substrate, and a surface layer provided on the photoconductive layer, the surface layer comprising non-single-crystal carbon containing at least fluorine, wherein the surface layer has a ratio of the area of a peak having center in the vicinity of 1200 cm-1 or 1120 cm-1 in the infrared absorption spectrum to the area of a peak having center in the vicinity of 2920 cm-1 being in a range from 0.1 to 50. The light-receiving member allows to obtain a high-quality image without faint image or smeared image in any ambient conditions without use of heating means for the light-receiving member, and has high durability enough for maintaining such high quality characteristics.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a light receiving member, an image forming apparatus having the same, and an image forming method using the same, and more particularly to a light receiving member having excellent characteristics regardless of the surrounding environment It does not cause such a blurred image or unclear image and does not raise the temperature of the light-receiving member, and can maintain such characteristics, and the present invention also relates to image formation having such a light-receiving member An apparatus and an image forming method using such a light receiving member. Background technique [0002] For elements employing light-receiving members such as electrophotographic photosensitive members, various materials such as selenium, cadmium sulfide, zinc oxide, phthalocyanine, amorphous silicon (hereinafter abbreviated as a-Si), and the like have been proposed. Among these materials, non-single-crystal deposited films (as r...
