Abstract: The principal criteria for multiply charged ion production are summarized and the different approaches are considered. The main emphasis is put on ECRIS (Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source). A miniaturized ECR source, called MINIMAFIOS, is described. It delivers multiply charged heavy particles including completely stripped light ions. The source plasma is located in a magnetic well allowing long exposure time to electron bombardment and subsequently efficient successive ionization collisions. The beam intensities are in a range of 108 to 1014 pps cm-2 with beam emittances of < 1 mm mrad (normalized). The beam extraction voltage is tunable from 1 kV to 20 kV. The source is very reliable and its handling simple. Present characteristics are given and future developments are mentioned. The beams are suitable for numerous atomic physics experiments.
