The invention provides a thermopile infrared detector and a manufacturing method of the thermopile infrared detector. The thermopile infrared detector comprises a substrate, a dielectric supporting film, a thermopile, a metamaterial structure, a middle dielectric layer and a metal micro structure layer, wherein a cavity is formed in the substrate, the dielectric supporting film is located above the cavity and supported by the substrate, the thermopile is located on the dielectric supporting film above the cavity, the metamaterial structure is located above the thermopile and comprises a metal plane reflecting mirror, the middle dielectric layer is located on the metal plane reflecting mirror, the metal micro structure layer is located on the middle dielectric layer and comprises one or more structural period units, and each structural period unit comprises one or more geometric figure units having the light adsorption enhance effect within the infrared spectrum range. Due to the thermopile infrared detector, perform absorption within the infrared band broad spectrum range can be achieved, the infrared adsorption rate and the responding rate of the thermopile infrared detector can be improved, and the manufacturing method is compatible with a conventional CMOS technology.
