Semiconductor device structures and related fabrication methods are provided herein. One fabrication method relates to the formation of conductive contact plugs for a semiconductor device. The method begins by providing a semiconductor device structure having a conductive contact region, a layer of insulating material overlying the conductive contact region, and a via formed in the layer of insulating material and terminating at the conductive contact region. The fabrication process then deposits a first electrically conductive material on the semiconductor device structure such that the first electrically conductive material at least partially fills the via. Then, the process anisotropically etches a portion of the first electrically conductive material located in the filled via, resulting in a lined via. Thereafter, the process deposits a second electrically conductive material on the semiconductor device structure such that the second electrically conductive material at least partially fills the lined via.
