A simple method combining photolithography and shadow (or angle) evaporation is developed to fabricate single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) devices with tube lengths of approximate to10-50 nm between metal contacts. Large numbers of such short devices are obtained without the need of complex tools such as electron beam lithography. Metallic SWCNTs with lengths of approximate to10 nm, near the mean free path of I-op approximate to 15 nm for optical phonon scattering, exhibit nearly ballistic transport at high biases and can carry unprecedented 100-muA currents per tube. Semiconducting SWCNT field-effect transistors with approximate to50-nm channel lengths are routinely produced to achieve quasi-ballistic operations for molecular transistors. The results demonstrate highly length-scaled and high-performance interconnects and transistors realized with SWCNTs.
