Provided is a method of growing a pure germanium (Ge) thin film with low threading dislocation density using reduced pressure chemical vapor deposition (RPCVD), which includes growing a Ge thin film on a silicon (Si) substrate at a low temperature, performing real-time annealing for a short period of time, and growing the annealed Ge thin film at a high temperature. The grown Ge single crystal thin film can overcome conventional problems of generation of a Si—Ge layer due to Si diffusion, and propagation of misfit dislocation to a high-temperature Ge thin film.
