Recent developments and improvements on the ECR ion source family at PANTECHNIK S.A. are presented. A lot of work has been done in the Ion Implantation Technology with the MICROGAN Industry® source: more than 3 mA have been produced on B1+, P1+ and few hundred mAe on charge state 3+, 4+. Three other developments are described in this paper: a) the construction of the first source using high temperature superconducting coils (30 K) PKSUS® - Space Cryomagnetics (UK), in collaboration with NSC (New Delhi); b) the construction of the PHOENIX ECR source (used in the “1+/n+” process for radioactive beam) for different laboratories; c) and the first results on PK 2.45 (a cheap source working at 2.45 GHz) able to produce high current of monocharged beam. We will also present some special products for beam acceleration and diagnosis.
