Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing an electrophotographic photosensitive member, which mounts a conductive substrate in a reaction vessel that can be evacuated, supplies a source gas into the reaction vessel and introduces a high-frequency power to form a deposited film on the conductive substrate, comprising in the following order: forming a photoconductive layer formed from an amorphous material containing silicon atoms on the conductive substrate; forming a first surface layer formed from an amorphous material containing silicon atoms and carbon atoms; and forming a second surface layer formed from an amorphous material containing silicon atoms and carbon atoms as a layer in a top surface side of the electrophotographic photosensitive member, wherein when flow rates of CH the first surface layer and the second surface layer are formed while supplying the source gas into the reaction vessel so that C while adjusting the high-frequency power so that P
