An infrared detector includes a first PN junction diode and a second PN junction diode which are formed in a silicon layer formed apart from a support substrate, the silicon layer having a P-type first region and an N-type second region, wherein the first PN junction diode is composed of the P-type first region and an N-type first region formed in the P-type first region at a position separated from the N-type second region, and the second PN junction diode is composed of the N-type second region and a P-type second region formed in the N-type second region at a position separated from the P-type first region, and wherein the first PN junction diode and the second PN junction diode are connected by a metal film formed on a surface of a concave portion spreading both of the P-type first region and the N-type second region.
