We show that Peierls instability leading to stripe patterns occurs in two-dimensional systems with nearest-neighbor attractive interaction which is commonly used as a model Hamiltonian for d-wave superconductors. By a self-consistent calculation of order parameters for finite systems, we find that besides the usual d-wave component, a small amount of spatially modulated component emerges. This component partially removes the zero-energy nodes of the d-wave pairing and then reduces the energy. The periodic patterns are directly related to the Fermi wave vectors near half-filling. The effects of shift from the half-filling and disorder on stripe patterns are investigated.
