1. An anode active material for a lithium secondary battery, comprising:
an amorphous carbon-based particle comprising pores formed in at least one of an inside of the particle and a surface of the particle, wherein a pore size of the carbon-based particle is 20 nm or less; and
silicon formed from a silicon-based compound gas at an inside of the pores of the carbon-based particle or on the surface of the carbon-based particle,
wherein the silicon has an amorphous structure or has a crystallite size measured by an X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis which is 7 nm or less.
