A protruding structure having a linear edge is formed on a substrate. The protruding structure may be a gate line of a field effect transistor. A stress-generating liner is deposited on the substrate. A non-photosensitive self-assembling block copolymer layer containing at least two immiscible polymeric block components is deposited on the stress-generating liner, and is annealed to allow phase separation of immiscible components. The polymeric resist is developed to remove at least one of the at least two polymeric block components, which formed a pattern of nested lines due to the linear edge of the protruding structure. Linear nanoscale stripes are formed in the polymeric resist which is self-aligning and self-assembled. The stress-generating layer is patterned into linear stress-generating stripes having a sublithographic width. The linear stress-generating stripes provide a predominantly uniaxial stress along their lengthwise direction, providing an anisotropic stress to an underlying semiconductor device.

A method for manufacturing a structure includes providing a structure having an insulator layer with at least one interconnect and forming a sub lithographic template mask on the insulator layer. A selective etching step is used for etching the insulator layer through the sub lithographic template mask to form sub lithographic features near the at least one interconnect. A supra lithographic blocking mask may also be utilized. In another aspect, the method includes forming pinch off sections of sub lithographic size formed in a capping layer on the insulator layer. A semiconductor structure includes an insulator layer having at least one interconnect feature and at least one column formed in the insulator layer. A plurality of sub lithographic features formed on a top portion of the insulator layer and communicating with the at least one column is also provided. The plurality of sub lithographic features have a cross section or diameter less than any of the at least one column. A gap may be prohibited from forming on or near scribe lines or vias.
