Apparatus and method for seasoning an idled deposition chamber prior to growing an epitaxial layer. A dopant containing source gas, such as a Mg-containing source gas, is introduced to an MOCVD chamber after the chamber has been idled and prior to the chamber growing a film containing the dopant on a substrate. In a multi-chambered deposition system, a non-p-type epitaxial layer of an LED film stack is grown over a substrate in a first deposition chamber while a seasoning process is executed in a second deposition chamber with a p-type dopant-containing source gas. Subsequent to the seasoning process, a p-type epitaxial layer of the LED film stack is grown on the substrate in the second deposition chamber with improved control of p-type dopant concentration in the p-type epitaxial layer.
