ABSTRACT:
In the method of forming an amorphous silicon film on a substrate supported on an electrode facing a discharging electrode within an evacuated reaction chamber through decomposition of a reacting gas introduced therein and containing at least silicon hydride such as SiH.sub.4 along with or without a doping impurity gas, by glow dicharging developed across the facing electrodes through application of a high frequency (radio frequency) electric power the oppose across, the improvement wherein: the power density of the electric power applied for glow discharging is so set that the ratio of the electric power relative to the discharging surface area of the discharging electrode is 0.3 W/cm.sup.2 or greater, and the ratio F/V of the total flow rate F (l/min.) relative to the volume V (l) of the reaction chamber is 0.01 min..sup.-1 or greater. The resulting a-Si film has a high resistivity in darkness and a large photosensitivity which are suitable for electrophotography.
