A complementary metal oxide semiconductor structure including a scaled nFET and a scaled pFET which do not exhibit an increased threshold voltage and reduced mobility during operation is provided. The method includes forming a plasma nitrided, nFET threshold voltage adjusted high k gate dielectric layer portion within an nFET gate stack, and forming at least a pFET threshold voltage adjusted high k gate dielectric layer portion within a pFET gate stack. The pFET threshold voltage adjusted high k gate dielectric layer portion in the pFET gate stack can also be plasma nitrided. The plasma nitrided, nFET threshold voltage adjusted high k gate dielectric layer portion contains up to 15 atomic % N2 and an nFET threshold voltage adjusted species, while the plasma nitrided, pFET threshold voltage adjusted high k gate dielectric layer portion contains up to 15 atomic % N2 and a pFET threshold voltage adjusted species.
