摘要:
A charging member having a support, a conductive elastic layer formed on the support and a surface layer formed on the conductive elastic layer, wherein the surface layer contains a polysiloxane having an acrylic group and an oxyalkylene group. This provides a charging member to the surface of which toners and external additives used in the toners can not easily cling even because of repeated use over a long period of time and which therefore enables charging and image reproduction which are stable over a long period of time, even when used in the DC contact charging method; and further provides a process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus which have such a charging member.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a charging member in which a toner, an additive for use in the toner, or the like is hard to adhere to the surface even under repeated use for a long time, and hence the charging and image output are made stable for a long time even if the charging member is used in the DC contact charging method, and a process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus having the charging member. The present invention provides a charging member comprising a support, a conductive elastic layer formed on the support, and a surface layer formed on the conductive elastic layer, characterized in that the surface layer contains a polysiloxane having a fluoroalkyl group and an oxyalkylene group, and a process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus having the charging member.

A width of a circuit device isolation region and a width of a device region formed on a semiconductor substrate are determined in such a manner as to satisfy a condition which prevents the occurrence of dislocation due to thermal oxidation for forming the isolation region. In accordance with the manufacturing scheme, a semiconductor device produced includes a semiconductor substrate, a plurality of circuit regions formed on a device formation region in the semiconductor substrate and having a width of 0.1 to 125 &mgr;m and device isolation regions so formed on the semiconductor substrate as to isolate a plurality of circuit regions from one another and having a width of 0.01 to 2.5 &mgr;m. In such a schemed device, a ratio of the width of the device region to the width of the device isolation region is from 2 to 50. Each device isolation region is a groove formed in the semiconductor substrate by etching a portion, among the pad oxide film formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate and a nitride film formed on the pad oxide film, existing on the device isolation region, and having a depth of from 0 to 10 nm when measured from the position of the pad oxide film on the semiconductor substrate.
