Abstract
A photoconductive member, comprises a support for a photoconductive member and an amorphous layer which is constituted of silicon atoms as matrix containing at least one of hydrogen atom and halogen atom and exhibits photoconductivity, said amorphous layer having a layer region containing oxygen atoms in at least a part thereof, the content of the oxygen atoms in said layer region being distributed unevenly in the direction of the thickness of said layer.
