A method for forming a strained SiN film and a semiconductor device containing the strained SiN film. The method includes exposing the substrate to a gas including a silicon precursor. The substrate is exposed to a gas including a first nitrogen precursor configured to react with the silicon precursor with a first reactivity characteristic. The substrate is also exposed to a gas including a second nitrogen precursor configured to react with the silicon precursor with a second reactivity characteristic different than the first reactivity characteristic such that a property of the SiN film formed on the substrate changes to provide a strained SiN film. According to another embodiment, the substrate is exposed to a gas pulse containing a silicon precursor and first and second nitrogen precursors, wherein the ratio of the first and second precursors is varied during the exposure.
