A strained semiconductor device includes a first plurality of transistors spaced with a first gate pitch, a second plurality of transistors spaced with a second gate pitch greater than the first gate pitch, and an etch stop layer disposed on the first and second pluralities of transistors. The etch stop layer between each of the second plurality of transistors has a greater proportion of a stress-altering material than the etch stop layer between each of the first plurality of transistors.
