Abstract: An infrared detector and a manufacturing method for the infrared detector are provided. The infrared detector includes a first contact layer, a second contact layer, and an absorption layer and a barrier composite layer between the first contact layer and the second contact. The barrier composite layer includes an intrinsic layer, a field control layer and a barrier layer which are adjacent in sequence and are all of wide bandgap semiconductor materials. The intrinsic layer is adjacent to the absorption layer made of a narrow bandgap semiconductor material. The doping type of the absorption layer is N-type doping, and the field control layer and the barrier layer are both P-type doping, so that the barrier composite layer and the absorption layer can form a PIN structure, with the depletion layer of the infrared detector transferred into the wide bandgap intrinsic layer, thereby effectively suppressing a generation-recombination current of the detector.
