Abstract

A manufacturing method of an avalanche photodiode includes: forming a p-type field relaxation layer on a substrate; forming a cap layer on the p-type field relaxation layer; and forming a light absorbing layer on the cap layer, wherein a carbon is doped in the p-type field relaxation layer as a p-type dopant, the p-type field relaxation layer contains Al in a crystal composition, and a temperature-rise process from a growth temperature of the cap layer to a growth temperature of the light absorbing layer is performed in an inactive gas atmosphere without introducing a group V raw material.
