We report on transport characteristics of quantum dot devices etched entirely in graphene. At large sizes, they behave as conventional single-electron transistors, exhibiting periodic Coulomb blockade peaks. For quantum dots smaller than 100 nm, the
peaks become strongly non-periodic indicating a major contribution of quantum confinement. Random peak spacing and its statistics are well described by the theory of chaotic neutrino (Dirac) billiards. Short constrictions of only a few nm in width remain conductive and reveal a confinement gap of up to 0.5eV, which demonstrates the in-principle possibility of molecular-scale electronics based on graphene.
