The invention relates to a transparent glass substrate, associated with a transparent electro-conductive layer capable of constituting an electrode of a photovoltaic cell and composed of a doped oxide, characterized by the interposition, between the glass substrate and the transparent electroconductive layer, of a mixed layer of one or more first nitride(s) or oxynitride(s), or oxide(s) or oxycarbide(s) having good adhesive properties with glass, and one or more second nitride(s) or oxynitride(s) or oxide(s) or oxycarbide(s) capable of constituting, possibly in the doped state, a transparent electroconductive layer; a method for producing this substrate; a photovoltaic cell, a tempered and/or curved glass, a shaped heating glass, a plasma screen and a flat lamp electrode having this substrate.
