Would you like to elaborate a bit?
It sounds like you are looking to use Al as a backside gate to allow 
efficient charge collection on the backside (because it is fairly 
transparent in the EUV).  Is this right?
Give a few more details, and I'll enquire about it.
What wavelength region exactly is of interest?
I understand that Al penetrates undesirably into the Si at high 
temperatures; but this could be avoidable.

Regards,
Paul
