description Intermediate semiconductor devices and methods of reducing damage during back end of the line (BEOL) metallization and metal one (M1) layer integration scheme are provided. One method includes, for instance: obtaining a wafer having at least one contact region; depositing on the wafer a thin film stack having at least one layer of amorphous silicon (a-Si); performing lithography to pattern at least one opening; performing lithography to pattern at least one via opening and at least one trench opening; and removing the at least one a-Si layer. One intermediate semiconductor device includes, for instance: a wafer having at least one contact region; at least one first dielectric layer on the device; at least one second dielectric layer on the at least one first dielectric layer; and at least one a-Si layer on the at least one second dielectric layer.
