I don't have one that is specific to MOCVD, but here is one that was
related to another vapor deposition technique. I hope it helps you
out.

Santa Rosa Agilent worker burned severely in flash explosion

Accident happened when someone from the lab was cleaning "a molecular
beam epitaxy device, a large piece of equipment used for producing
coatings on integrated circuits, officials said"

Dear Div CHAS members,

I am looking for examples of incidents involving the metal organic chemical
vapor deposition equipment

If you have any you can point to I will be grateful

Some people need to look at others failures before they act as though they
believe there is an elevated hazard – stories help.

Sincerely,

-Russ
