The present invention pertains to a semiconductor light-receiving element and a method for manufacturing the same, enabling operation in a wide wavelength bandwidth and achieving fast response and high response efficiency. A PIN type photodiode made by sequentially layering on top of the substrate a Si layer of a first conductivity type, a non-doped Ge layer and a Ge layer of a second conductivity type that is the opposite type of the first conductivity type and a Ge current-blocking mechanism is provided in at least part of the periphery of the PIN type photodiode.
