Where can I find a PCB layout for a voltage doubler?

Frequent asked about building blocks: gain stages, buffers, clipping configurations, ...

I'd like to build a voltage doubler that will allow me to run my Crunch Box at 18 volts instead of 9.
Are there any good schematics / pcbs / layouts that will give me 18v out of a 9v power supply?
I've tried searching and I find skeptical results...one says it's really only putting out 15 volts and the others are so old of posts that I wonder how relevant they are.

Thanks guys.

well you can run it up to 25 volts, why not do that?

You can pretty much just copy the bottom left side of the Sagiterius (bad spelling! mini-klon) pcb. That's essentially the charge pump section (chip, caps, 1n4001 diodes and a protection diode.)

You can always use such a small circuit to have a go on the DIY Layout Creator.
