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.
