The new electrodes correspond to<br />dielectric/metal/dielectic (D/M/D) multilayer structures deposited under vacuum. In the<br />present work, after a fast review of the general properties of D/M/D electrodes using Ag as<br />metal, we then develop the study of D/Cu/D multilayer structures. We propose to substitute<br />Cu to Ag, because it is far cheaper. However, Cu having tendency to diffuse into many<br />dielectrics it is difficult to obtain stable electrodes. We show that using Cu:alloys, i.e. Cu:Ni<br />and Cu:Al, as metal it is possible to decrease significantly the Cu ions diffusion and to<br />increase significantly the stability of the multilayer electrodes with Cu. Finally, we show that<br />when these electrodes are used as anode in organic photovoltaic cells, they can allow<br />achieving efficiency similar to that obtained with ITO.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Asian Journal of Engineering and Technology}, author={Bernède, J.
