The mVINIS ECR ion source was designed and constructed jointly by the team of specialists from FLNR JINR, Dubna and Laboratory of Physics, Vinča Institute, Belgrade. It was commissioned and put in operation in 1998. From that time it was widely used in the field of modification of materials by different kinds of multiply charged ions. Recently we decided to modernize mVINIS in order to improve its operation reliability. Our main goal was to refurbish its major components (vacuum pumps, microwave generator, control system etc.). Besides, we decided to enhance basic construction of the ECR ion source in order to improve the production of multiply charged ion beams from gaseous and solid elements. We changed the shape of the plasma chamber and consequently reconstructed the magnetic structure. Also we improved the construction of the injection chamber. All these improvements resulted in substantial increase of ion beam intensities, especially in the case of high charge state ions.
