Modern advanced heavy ion beam accelerators have strong needs for either dc or pulsed intense high charge state heavy ion beams, such as dc beams for FRIB project, SPIRAL2 project, HIRFL/IMP facility, RIBF/RIKEN facility ect, and pulsed beams for RHIC, LHC, FAIR project. After decades' development, only several typical ion sources have found their applications in these accelerators, i.e. ECR ion source, EBIS and LIS or Laser Ion Source. This paper will give a general review of the advantages and limitations of the three types of ion sources. The latest development and performance for the three types of ion sources will be presented.
