  Wow, that's thin! It's almost down to the level of a flex PCB. Maybe you could get a fab house to do the two innermost layers of a multi-layer board and just skip the outer layers. 'Not sure how that would drill and plate, though.

  There's no problem buying 0.009 inch copper clad laminate - it's used in multilayer boards. The problem is this board won't be very rigid after it's etched - so the board manufacturer will have to use a soldermask designed for rigid/flex boards. If you regular source for rigid PCB's can't build this board - Google rigid/flex board manufacturer

  Be prepared to spend extra to have a 0.009 inch board made - it will require some special handling thru plating, etching, etc. If you want to save some money - switch to a 0.020 inch board.
