An oxynitride pad layer and a masking layer are formed on an ultrathin semiconductor-on-insulator substrate containing a top semiconductor layer comprising silicon. A first portion of a shallow trench is patterned in a top semiconductor layer by lithographic masking of an NFET region and an etch, in which exposed portions of the buried insulator layer is recessed and the top semiconductor layer is undercut. A thick thermal silicon oxide liner is formed on the exposed sidewalls and bottom peripheral surfaces of a PFET active area to apply a high laterally compressive stress. A second portion of the shallow trench is formed by lithographic masking of a PFET region including the PFET active area. A thin thermal silicon oxide or no thermal silicon oxide is formed on exposed sidewalls of the NFET active area, which is subjected to a low lateral compressive stress or no lateral compressive stress.
