This looks straightforward to deposit.

I don't know the thickness offhand.  It would be a thin intermediate layer, 
as a buffer between the Al and Si.

Maybe we've finished covering the general details of this idea now?
If you want to continue discussing more specifically, or want to buy such a 
device in the future, feel free to get in touch.
Otherwise, we'll let the others of ccd-world file the information away...

Cheers,
Paul
