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 a fin. An insulating structure is directly adjacent sidewalls of the lower fin portion of the fin. A first gate electrode is over the upper fin portion and over a first portion of the insulating structure. A second gate electrode is over the upper fin portion and over a second portion of the insulating structure. A first dielectric spacer is along a sidewall of the first gate electrode. A second dielectric spacer is along a sidewall of the second gate electrode, the second dielectric spacer continuous with the first dielectric spacer over a third portion of the insulating structure between the first gate electrode and the second gate electrode. |
