PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chemical sensor, a biomolecule detection device, and a biomolecule detection method that enable biomolecules to be detected with high precision.SOLUTION: A chemical sensor of the present invention comprises a substrate, an optical layer, and an intermediate layer. The substrate has a plurality of photodiodes formed thereon and arranged in a flat shape. The optical layer is laminated on the substrate, and waveguides for guiding incident light to each of the photodiodes are formed in the optical layer. The intermediate layer is laminated on the optical layer, and a probe retaining region capable of retaining a probe material is formed for each waveguide in the intermediate layer.
