Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure are in the field of advanced integrated circuit structure fabrication. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a single dielectric layer above a substrate. A plurality of conductive lines is in an upper portion of the single dielectric layer above a lower portion of the single dielectric layer. A carbon dopant region is in the upper portion of the single dielectric layer, the carbon dopant region between adjacent ones of the plurality of conductive lines.
