The invention discloses a semiconductor sensor for ultraviolet detection and a preparation method of the sensor. The semiconductor ultraviolet detection sensor comprises a baseplate, electrodes loaded on the baseplate and zinc oxide nanowires which are positioned between the electrodes, connected in parallel and integrated, wherein the electrodes are two comb tooth-shaped electrodes which are arranged oppositely, one comb tooth of one electrode is inserted between two comb teeth of the other electrode so as to form the tooth insertion shape, and the zinc oxide nanowires are respectively connected in parallel and integrated on the adjacent two comb teeth. The light response current of the semiconductor ultraviolet detection sensor can achieve the milliamp magnitude, thereby significantly reducing the ultraviolet detection difficulty and the characterization difficulty of the strength thereof.
