A complementary field effect transistor (CFET) device is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The CFET device has a first transistor that is under a second transistor. A filled gate cut is directly adjacent to the sidewall of the gate of the CFET device. The first dielectric material in the gate cut is adjacent to the first transistor. The second dielectric material in the gate cut is adjacent to the second transistor. The two dielectric materials in the gate cut are selected to improve the electrical performance of each of the NFET and the PFET in the CFET device. The first dielectric material can apply a compressive stress to the channels of the first transistor when the first transistor is a PFET to improve the electrical performance of the PFET. When the second transistor is an NFET, the second dielectric material applies a tensile stress to NFET to improve NFET performance.
