The invention discloses a high-gain solar blind ultraviolet light detector based on a (GaY)2O3 amorphous film and a preparation method of the high-gain solar blind ultraviolet light detector. The detector sequentially comprises a c-plane sapphire, an active layer and a pair of parallel electrodes from bottom to top, wherein the active layer is the amorphous (GaY)2O3 film. According to the invention, Y3+ ions are used for partially replacing Ga3+ ions in Ga2O3, so that the band gap of Ga2O3 is increased, and the thin film is converted into amorphous from single crystal. The amorphous (GaY)2O3 film with a higher band gap can effectively reduce the dark current of the device, and enables the cut-off wavelength to be blue-shifted to be within 280nm. Meanwhile, the amorphous (GaY)2O3 film has higher defect concentration, and the defects not only can improve the gain, but also can be used as a recombination center to promote carrier recombination, so that compared with a pure Ga2O3 device, an amorphous (GaY)2O3 device has the advantages that the responsivity is obviously improved, the relaxation time is obviously shortened, and the detection capability on deep ultraviolet light is greatly improved.
