The simplest of CMOS gates is a CMOS inverter gate. A nMOSFET and a pMOSFET are have one pin connected to either GND or VDD (respectively) and the other terminal connected as the output of the gate.
The gate pins of the [MOSFET]s are connected together as the input. When the Input=VDD, the pMOSFET is off and the nMOSFET is turned on. This means the output is connected to GND, which is logically opposite to VDD (the input). When the Input=GND, the pMOSFET is on and the nMOSFET is off, meaning the output is connected to VDD.
