An apparatus and method of forming an epitaxial layer are provided. The apparatus includes a process chamber in which an epitaxial process is performed to form epitaxial layer on a substrate. A first supplier supplies source gases for the epitaxial layer into the process chamber. A second supplier supplies dopants into the process chamber. A detector detects a composition ratio of the epitaxial layer and a concentration of the dopants in the epitaxial layer during the epitaxial growth process. And a controller controls a mass flow of at least one of the source gases and a mass flow of the dopants in-line with the epitaxial growth process. Accordingly, the layer thickness of the epitaxial layer can be accurately controlled in real time in line with the epitaxial process.
