Embodiments of the disclosure are in the field of advanced integrated circuit structure fabrication and, in particular, 10 nanometer node and smaller integrated circuit structure fabrication and the resulting structures. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer above a substrate. A conductive interconnect line is in a trench in the ILD layer, the conductive interconnect line having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion laterally adjacent to the second portion. A dielectric plug is between and laterally adjacent to the first and second portions of the conductive interconnect line, the dielectric plug comprising a metal oxide material.
