The invention discloses an 
ultraviolet avalanche photodiode detector. Each device unit of the 
detector comprises a CE 
electrode, an SiO2 layer, a P-well or N-well, a substrate and a back 
surface electrode in sequence from top to bottom, wherein a point-shaped 
avalanche photodiode is arranged at the center of the upper part of the P-well or N-well; the point-shaped 
avalanche photodiode is electrically communicated with the CE 
electrode; a ground connector GND is peripherally arranged at the periphery of the SiO2 layer. The 
ultraviolet avalanche 
photodiode detector is manufactured by adopting a 
wide band gap 
semiconductor material, an avalanche region is separated from a 
photon collection region, and an 
avalanche multiplication nodal region is relatively small, so that a device with relatively low avalanche 
voltage can be manufactured, and the uniformity and 
controllability of an 
electric field of the avalanche region are good; while an 
avalanche multiplication high-field region is relatively small, a large-area optical detection region is guaranteed, so that the 
quantum efficiency is improved; the area of the avalanche region is reduced, and 
dark current and dark excitation are easy to reduce; meanwhile, the tolerance to the quality and defects of a 
wafer is improved, and breakdown of the large-area 
avalanche multiplication high-field region at a defect position is prevented in advance.
