An alternative may be, on the back side, to use pulsed AC on top of a
DC trickle current used to sustain the anodized layer.
Very high frequency high voltage AC intervals with low duty cycles,
on the back side, would cause tunneling directions across the
backside of the barrier to switch directions, alternating many times
per volume diffused, and thereby increasing fusion prospects per
diffused atom. It also increases the probability of OH- de-
ionization, loosing free electrons to attach to the backside
diffusion barrier.
Sorry if this is too much message traffic.
