  Electron cyclotron resonance charge breeder (ECR CB) is one of the instruments used to boost the radioactive ion beam (RIB) charge state in isotope separator on-line (ISOL) facilities. While the ECR CB can manage intense 1+ RIB without difficulty, the present CB generation co extracts significant amounts of impurities which can be detrimental to the study of very low intensity N+ RIB in today facilities if no downstream high mass resolution separation is available. This work investigates the im-provements achievable with a new generation 18 GHz ECR CB applicable to future facility like EURISOL. The study shows that with a modified ion source geometry, an optimized magnetic confinement, a careful wall metal choice like beryllium, a UHV vacuum technology, the charge breeder performance will improve as follows: 20 % higher capture efficiency, -40% charge breeding time, charge state ion production with mass over charge of 3 up to xenon and over 6 up to uranium, co-extracted contam-inant density reduction by a factor 60 to 600. An 18 GHz ECR CB ion source layout is finally proposed for EURISOL.
