摘要:
In a deposited film forming process or apparatus, a deposited film is formed on a film-forming substrate by reduced-pressure vapor phase growth. The film-forming substrate is set on an auxiliary substrate and an auxiliary-substrate cap member is set at the upper part thereof. A maximum temperature difference between temperature at the upper end of the film-forming substrate and the temperature at the lower end of the auxiliary-substrate cap member provided on the film-forming substrate at its upper part is so controlled as to be not greater than a prescribed value so that a film deposited on the auxiliary-substrate cap member is improved in adhesion. Any deposits of films on the part other than the film-forming substrate can be prevented from coming off and scattering on the film-forming substrate so that deposited films having uniform film thickness and film quality can steadily be formed and also faulty images can occur less frequently. It is also possible to achieve improvements of various properties of films formed, film forming rate, reproducibility, and productivity so that yield can dramatically be improved in mass production.

The present invention provides a method of producing an electrophotographic photosensitive member capable of obtaining high-quality uniform images without image defects and nonuniformity in image density. The method of producing an electrophotographic photosensitive member includes a step forming a functional film on a substrate, and a washing step of spraying water on the substrate surface from concentrically arranged nozzle groups positioned in a twisted relationship before the step of forming the functional film.

摘要:
A method for efficiently cleaning a cleaning subject, especially a method for cleaning an electrophotographic photosensitive member enables a uniform and high quality image to be obtained without leaving image defects and irregular images. The method includes a cleaning step during which the circulation flow rate during dipping of the cleaning subject in a cleaning solution is different from the circulation flow rate when the cleaning subject is pulled up, and where the cleaning solution is showered on the surface of the cleaning subject when it is pulled up. The cleaning method may be used in a method for manufacturing an electrophotographic photosensitive member for depositing a functional film by a plasma CVD method on a substrate.
