The invention discloses a graphene/silicon/graphene-based avalanche photodetector and a manufacturing method thereof. The avalanche photodetector comprises an n-type silicon substrate, a silicon dioxide isolation layer, a silicon dioxide window, a silicon dioxide insulation layer, a top electrode, a graphene interdigital electrode film and an anti-reflection layer. Graphene serves the transparent interdigital electrode and together with the silicon substrate, the photodetector of an MSM-type structure is formed. The photodetector can carry out wide spectrum detection, the problem that the traditional silicon-based PIN junction is low to ultraviolet light detection response can be solved; the anti-reflection layer enhances absorption of incident lights, and photocurrent is enhanced; under the effect of large reverse bias, a strong electric field is generated among the grapheme interdigital electrodes, collision ionization is likely to happen to photocarrier and silicon lattice, and high gain is obtained. The graphene/silicon/graphene-based avalanche photodetector and a manufacturing method thereof have the advantages of high response degree, quick response speed, large internal gain, small switch ratio and low power consumption.
