Here's a couple from ASU in Tempe :
1. "Reactive ion etch of patterned and blanket silver thin films in Cl2/O2 and
O2 glow discharges"
P. Nguyen et. al, J. Vac. Sci. Technol. B 17(5), Sep/Oct 1999, pp. 2204 - 2209
2. "Advanced silver-based metallization patterning for ULSI applications"
T.L. Alford et. al., Microelectronic Engineering 55 (2001), pp. 383 - 388
