The conference scope covers research and development fields including theories, materials, devices and their applications based on electron emission into vacuum using various kinds of electron emission mechanisms. Especially, miniaturized electron sources fabricated by thin-film and microfabrication technologies and their applications are emphasized.

39th International Vacuum Nanoelectronics Conference (IVNC) is technically sponsored by IEEE. The proceedings  of this event are likely to be indexed in  prominent databases such as Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), Ei Compendex, DBLP, Google Scholar, and many others.
