Title: Noise filter

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Technical Field 
     The present invention relates to a noise filter which attenuates a noise which is caused in accordance with a pitching operation of a semiconductor element in an electric power conversion device. 
     Background Art 
     There is an electric power conversion device as a device for supplying an electric power, which has a variable frequency and a variable voltage, to a load such as a motor. In the electric power conversion device, semiconductor elements of an inverter portion and a converter portion in the device are composed of a power semiconductor, whereby a voltage is increased or decreased in accordance with a switching operation of the power semiconductor, and an AC voltage, which has a variable frequency and a variable voltage, is generated, and an AC electric power is supplied to a load such as a motor. It is generally known that a conductive noise is caused by a charge-discharge operation in accordance with, for example, an electric potential variation at a neutral point of a U phase, a V phase, and a W phase of an outputted power, or a parasitic inductance in the device, or a parasitic capacitance. An electric current, which is flowed through a plurality of wires with an identical phase and an identical amplitude in a conductive noise and is passed through a metallic case of a device, of which return passage is a grounding line and is set at a grounding electric potential, or through the ground, is referred to as a common mode electric current. In order to reduce a conductive noise, a reduction countermeasure of a common mode electric current (or referred to as a common mode noise) is an essential countermeasure. 
     In order to reduce the common mode noise, as the above-described conductive noise, which is generated in accordance with a switching operation or the like of a semiconductor element, a common mode coil, at which a conductor is wound around a magnetic material core, is used. The common mode coil has an effect as a common mode filter in which the common mode noise is reduced by using an inductance of a coil, at which a winding is provided to the magnetic material core, and a resistance component of a magnetic material. Moreover, when the common mode coil and a capacitor, which reduces the common mode noise by using small impedance between the capacitor and a grounding portion, are combined and used, the common mode coil and the capacitor function as a filter by which the common mode noise is more reduced. 
     However, in the common mode noise filter in which an inductor and a capacitor are combined, there have been problems in that terminal connecting portions are increased, and a complicated assembly work is caused, and the whole of the device is enlarged because an installation area and an installation volume of a component are increased. 
     As a method by which the above-described problems are solved, for example, in Patent Document 1, there is a described compact common mode noise filter in which a component, which is integrated by sandwiching a dielectric between a winding of a common mode coil and a grounding line, is fitted to a magnetic material which is composed of a E-shaped core and an I-shaped core or is composed of two E-shaped cores, whereby an installation area of the whole of the filter, in which an inductance and a conductance are integrally configured, is reduced. Moreover, in Patent Document 2, there is a described noise filter in which a dielectric is sandwiched between winding patterns and ground patterns, and an inductor and a capacitor are integrated by laminating a plurality of blocks which is configured by connecting the winding patterns and the ground patterns each other via a through hole.

     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Problems to be Solved by the Invention 
     However, in each of the noise filters which are described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a grounding line is pulled from the inside of the noise filters and is connected to a grounding electric potential, so that there have been problems in that the grounding line is elongated, and a characteristic of a capacitor is varied from a capacity characteristic to an induction characteristic at a relatively low frequency, and a noise reduction effect cannot be maintained to a high frequency wave. 
     Moreover, for example, in a case of an electric power conversion device for being mounted in a vehicle, heat is propagated from an engine room, whereby the electric power conversion device is disposed, for example, in a temperature environment in which a temperature is higher than or equal to 50 degree, and moreover, a large electric current, which is larger than or equal to several dozen amperes, is flowed through a circuit of the electric power conversion device, whereby an environment, in which a noise filter is disposed, is set at a high temperature. When a magnetic material and a dielectric, which compose a filter, are set at a high temperature, a characteristic is deteriorated, and endurance, such as an insulation capability deterioration, is deteriorated, so that, for example, it is required that an extra component, by which joule heat of a winding is radiated, is provided, and as a result, there has been a problem in that the filter is enlarged. 
     The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an attenuation effect of a noise filter is maintained to a high frequency wave. 
     Means for Solving Problems 
     A noise filter of the present invention includes a winding conductor which is composed of a conductor having a plane shape, and composes winding patterns which are arranged with a layer shape and electrically connect a component between layers; ground conductors, which are arranged in a state where a dielectric is sandwiched between the ground conductors and conductors of the winding patterns, and compose ground patterns; and a magnetic material core to which the winding patterns are wound; wherein the ground patterns are extended to the outside of the winding patterns so as to be arranged at positions where the ground patterns are faced to input-output terminals of the winding patterns; and slits, which separate portions which are arranged around the magnetic material core, are provided at the ground patterns of the ground conductors. 
     EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION 
     According to the noise filter of the present invention, the noise filter can be maintained to a high frequency wave at a frequency band at which an effect of the noise filter is realized.

     MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION 
     Embodiment 1 
       FIG. 1  is an oblique perspective view for explaining a noise filter (or referred to as a common mode noise filter) according to Embodiment 1, and  FIG. 13  is a cross-sectional view along an “A-A” line of the common mode noise filter which is indicated in  FIG. 1 . 
     A noise filter (common mode noise filter)  700 , which is indicated in  FIG. 1 , is schematically composed of a winding conductor  100 , which is composed of winding patterns, a dielectric (or referred to as a dielectric resin)  200  by which a material between the dielectric and the winding conductor is isolated, a ground conductor  19  and a ground conductor  24 , which compose ground patterns, and a magnetic material core  400 . 
     The winding conductor  100  is used as windings which are composed of a conductor having a plane shape. The windings are formed with a board configuration, and winding patterns are formed with a board shape at the winding conductor  100 , and the dielectric resin  200  (refer to  FIG. 13 ) for insulating is sandwiched between the windings. Moreover, an edge surface of the conductor is covered by a dielectric resin in order to enhance an insulation capability. In an example according to Embodiment 1, two-turn windings are wound, and the two-turn windings are composed of a three-layered conductor layer, and ground layers is composed of a first layer and a fifth layer. 
       FIG. 2  are plane views for explaining winding patterns according to Embodiment 1.  FIG. 2  indicate each of a winding pattern  1 , a winding pattern  7 , and a winding pattern  13 , which compose the winding patterns at a positive pole side of a second layer, a third layer, and a fourth layer, which are arranged as indicated in  FIG. 13 , and each of a winding pattern  4 , a winding pattern  10 , and a winding pattern  16 , which compose the winding patterns at a negative pole side. In other words,  FIG. 2( a )  indicates the winding patterns at the positive pole side of the second layer and the winding patterns at the negative pole side of the second layer.  FIG. 2( b )  indicates the winding patterns at the positive pole side of the third layer and the winding patterns at the negative pole side of the third layer.  FIG. 2( c )  indicates the winding patterns at the positive pole side of the fourth layer and the winding patterns at the negative pole side of the fourth layer. 
     A winding pattern input terminal  3  at the positive pole side, a winding pattern input terminal  6  at the negative pole side, a winding pattern output terminal  14  at the positive pole side, and a winding pattern output terminal  18  at the negative pole side are provided at each of the winding patterns. An end portion (or referred to as a connection position)  2 , an end portion  8 , an end portion  5 , and an end portion  12 , which are positioned between terminals of the second layer and the third layer (between winding patterns), and an end portion  9 , an end portion  15 , an end portion  11 , and an end portion  17 , which are positioned between terminals of the third layer and the fourth layer, are electrically connected by using, for example, an inner via hole (IVH). In this case, when an electric current density at a via hole portion is enhanced, a heating value at a via hole position is increased, so that it is desirable that a plurality of via holes are formed in a state where a cross-sectional area of the via hole is similar to a cross-sectional area of a winding pattern. Moreover, a slit  25  and a slit  26  are respectively formed at the winding pattern  1  and the winding pattern  4 , and a slit  27  and a slit  28  are respectively formed at the winding pattern  13  and the winding pattern  16 . 
       FIG. 3  are plane views for explaining ground patterns according to Embodiment 1.  FIG. 3( a )  indicates a ground pattern  24   a  at the positive pole side and a ground pattern  24   b  at the negative pole side, which compose the ground patterns at the first layer, and  FIG. 3( b )  indicates a ground pattern  19   a  at the positive pole side and a ground pattern  19   b  at the negative pole side, which compose the ground patterns at the fifth layer, and capacitors to the ground are respectively formed between the first layer and the second layer and between the fourth layer and the fifth layer. A capacitance of a capacitor is proportional to an area of a conductor which is faced to the capacitor, so that, in order to form a maximum capacitance, when the ground pattern  24   a , the ground pattern  24   b , the ground pattern  19   a , and the ground pattern  19   b  are provided at a position where the ground patterns are entirely faced to the winding pattern  1 , the winding pattern  4 , the winding pattern  13 , and the winding pattern  16 , a maximum faced area is realized, and a maximum capacitance is realized. 
     The ground pattern  24   a , the ground pattern  24   b , the ground pattern  19   a , and the ground pattern  19   b  are extended to the outside of the winding patterns so as to be arranged at a position  29 , a position  30 , a position  31 , and a position  32 , at which the ground patterns are faced to the winding pattern input terminal  3  and the winding pattern input terminal  6  of the winding patterns, and the winding pattern output terminal  14  and the winding pattern output terminal  18 . In other words, for example, the ground pattern  24   a  and the ground pattern  24   b  are arranged in a state where the areas of the ground pattern  24   a  and the ground pattern  24   b  are wider than the areas of the winding pattern  1  and the winding pattern  4 , which are respectively faced to the ground patterns. 
     Moreover, a slit  20  and a slit  21  are respectively formed at the ground pattern  24   a  and the ground pattern  24   b , and a slit  22  and a slit  23  are respectively formed at the ground pattern  19   a  and the ground pattern  19   b . When the slits are not formed, a high frequency wave impedance of the winding is shorted in accordance with a magnetic linkage of the winding pattern toward the winding in a state where the ground pattern is conducting around the magnetic material core  400 , an effect of a high impedance at a high frequency wave, in a state where the winding is provided to the magnetic material core  400 , is lost. However, when the slits are provided, the above-described problem is not caused. 
     In the noise filter according Embodiment 1, the capacitors (capacitors to the ground) are formed between the winding patterns at the positive pole side and the negative pole side of the second layer and the ground patterns at the first layer, and between the winding patterns at the positive pole side and the negative pole side of the fourth layer and the ground patterns at the fifth layer. The capacitors to the ground have a low impedance with respect to a high frequency wave noise current of a common mode, so that a noise electric current can be flowed to a ground layer, and only the noise electric current can be attenuated. At a dielectric layer, by which a capacitance is formed, between the winding patterns and a ground layer, when the dielectric layer has a higher dielectric ratio or has a thinner thickness, the capacitance is enhanced, so that a noise attenuation effect is enhanced. 
     Moreover, the both winding patterns of the positive pole side and the negative pole side are wound around the magnetic material core  400 , in which a permeability ratio is high at a high frequency wave, which is, for example, a ferrite core, an amorphous core, or a metallic magnetic material core having a crystal characteristic. Directions of interlinkage magnetic fluxes to a core of common mode noise electric currents, which are flowed through the both windings at the positive pole side and the negative pole side, are identical each other, so that the identical directions are effective to the attenuation of the common mode noises which are flowed to the positive pole and the negative pole. Although the magnetic material core  400  according to Embodiment 1 is composed of a core (or referred to as a UU core), which is formed by combining two U-shaped cores, or a core (or referred to as a UI core), which is formed by combining two kinds of a U-shaped core and a I-shaped core, the magnetic material core  400  may be composed of a core (or referred to as a EE core), which is formed by combining two E-shaped cores, or a core (or referred to as a EI core), which is formed by combining two kinds of a E-shaped core and a I-shaped core. 
       FIG. 4  are views which schematically indicate passages of noise electric currents of the positive pole and the negative pole, which are flowed from the winding pattern at the second layer to the ground pattern at the first ground pattern according to Embodiment 1.  FIG. 4( a )  indicates the winding pattern at the positive pole side of the second layer and the winding pattern at the negative pole side of the second layer. Moreover,  FIG. 4( b )  indicates the ground pattern at the positive pole side and the ground pattern negative pole side, which compose the ground patterns at the first layer. As indicated in  FIG. 4 , when the slit  20  and the slit  21  are respectively provided at the ground pattern  24   a  and the ground pattern  24   b , and a pattern, which is orbited around the magnetic material core  400 , is not conducting, a direction of a noise electric current, which is flowed through the winding pattern, at an outward passage, is reverse to a direction of a noise electric current, which is passed through the ground pattern and is flowed to a grounding electric potential, at a return passage, and the generated magnetic fluxes are reversely counteracted, so that an inductance is not generated. Directions of a noise electric current INp at the positive pole side and a noise electric current INn at the negative pole side are indicated as the broken lines. In other words, when the noise filter is indicated by using an equivalent circuit view of a common mode (although an equivalent circuit of a core is schematically indicated by using only self-inductances L for each of one turn and mutual inductances M at a first turn and a second turn, when the equivalent circuit is exactly indicated, the equivalent circuit includes a resistance component and a capacity component. The resistance component and the capacity component are not required in this explanation, so that only the self-inductances L are indicated), the equivalent circuit is not indicated as  FIG. 7 , and the equivalent circuit is indicated as  FIG. 6 , so that a noise reduction effect can be enhanced. In addition, a relation between capacitors C to the ground and the mutual inductances M is indicated as  FIG. 6 . Moreover, it is required that the ground pattern  19   a  and the ground pattern  19   b  at the output side and the winding pattern  13  and the winding pattern  16  are similarly arranged. 
     Moreover, the slit  20  and the slit  21  of the ground pattern  24   a  and the ground pattern  24   b , which are indicated in  FIG. 4A, 4B , are arranged at the positions where the slit  20  and the slit  21  are overlapped to the slit  25  and the slit  26  of the winding pattern  1  and the winding pattern  4 , which are respectively faced to the ground pattern  24   a  and the ground pattern  24   b  via a dielectric, and a maximum capacitance condition is realized in a state where a position of the slits of the ground patterns and a position of the slits of the winding patterns are overlapped as described above, and a maximum attenuation effect of the common mode noise filter is realized. The above-described relation between the positions of the slits and the attenuation effect is similar to a relation between the positions of the slit  22  and the slit  23  of the ground pattern  19   a  and the ground pattern  19   b  at the output side and the slit  27  and the slit  28  of the winding pattern  13  and the winding pattern  16 . 
     On the other hand, when the ground patterns are grounded as indicated in  FIG. 5 , a noise electric current is flowed to a grounding electric potential only by an outward passage, so that an interlinkage magnetic flux to a core is generated, and the magnetic flux is linked to an inductance of a two-turn winding of the winding patterns. In addition,  FIG. 5( a )  indicates the winding pattern at the positive pole side at the second layer and the winding pattern at the negative pole side at the second layer. Moreover,  FIG. 5( b )  indicates the ground pattern at the positive pole side and the ground pattern at the negative pole side, which compose the ground patterns at the first layer. 
     In the above-described case, the noise filter is indicated as an equivalent circuit in  FIG. 7 , and a noise attenuation effect is greatly low in comparison with an equivalent circuit in  FIG. 6 . Even when a winding pattern, which is wound from the inside, is used, it is required that an equivalent circuit is similarly considered, and when the noise filter is grounded as  FIG. 8 , an equivalent circuit is indicated as  FIG. 6 . However, when the noise filter is grounded as  FIG. 9 , an equivalent circuit is indicated as  FIG. 7 , so that a noise attenuation effect, in a state where the noise filter is grounded as  FIG. 8 , are higher than a noise attenuation effect, in a state where the noise filter is grounded as  FIG. 9 . In addition, the above-described mechanism is applied to a relation between the winding patterns at the fourth layer and the ground patterns at the fifth layer. In addition,  FIG. 8( a )  indicates the winding pattern at the positive pole side at the second layer and the winding pattern at the negative pole side at the second layer.  FIG. 8( b )  indicates the ground pattern at the positive pole side and the ground pattern at the negative pole side, which compose the ground patterns at the first layer. Moreover,  FIG. 9( a )  indicates the winding pattern at the positive pole side at the second layer and the winding pattern at the negative pole side at the second layer.  FIG. 9( b )  indicates the ground pattern at the positive pole side and the ground pattern at the negative pole side, which compose the ground patterns at the first layer. 
       FIG. 10  and  FIG. 11  are oblique perspective views for explaining a grounding configuration of the ground patterns according to Embodiment 1. In an electric power conversion device, energy, which is lost in a power semiconductor portion, is converted to heat so as to be generated. Moreover, in the electric power conversion device, a large electric current with several dozen amperes through several hundred amperes is flowed through a winding in order to transfer a higher electric power, so that large heat is generated from a winding wiring. Therefore, there are many cases in which a radiating fin  800  is attached to the noise filter in the electric power conversion device. On the other hand, the radiating fin  800  is a metallic block, so that the radiating fin  800  is used as a ground electric potential. 
     In the noise filter according to Embodiment 1, the radiating fin  800  is used for cooling the noise filter, and is used as the ground to which a capacitor to the ground is grounded. A groove (hollow portion)  801  is provided at the radiating fin  800 , and when the noise filter is attached as indicated  FIG. 10  and  FIG. 11 , a low portion of the magnetic material core  400  is fitted to the groove  801  so as to be installed, and the ground patterns of the ground conductor  19  are contacted to the radiating fin  800 . The noise filter is attached to the radiating fin  800  in a low contact resistance state by using conductive screws  600  in a state where a conductor spacer  500  is sandwiched between the ground conductor  19  and the ground conductor  24 . The ground conductor  24  is also connected so as to be grounded. When an amorphous material, a fine material, or a MnZn (manganese zinc) ferrite material, of which electric conductivity is high, is used for the magnetic material core  400 , the noise filter is insulated between the magnetic material core  400  and the radiating fin  800 . 
     In the common mode noise filter according to Embodiment 1, the ground patterns are extended to the outside of the winding patterns so as to be arranged at an input-output terminal position, and moreover, the ground patterns are not lines, and the ground patterns are the patterns having a plane shape, so that the noise filter can be grounded by using a small self-inductance. 
     In a conventional noise filter, when a capacitor has, for example, a capacitance which is greater than or equal to 1 nF, and when self-inductances of wirings at the inside and the outside of the capacitor is greater than or equal to 10 nH, the capacitor has a self-resonance frequency at a frequency which is lower than equal to 50 MHz, so that a characteristic of the capacitor is changed from a capacitance characteristic to an induction characteristic at a frequency which is higher than equal to 50 MHz, and an effect, by which a noise electric current is reduced, is decreased when a frequency is increased. 
     On the other hand, when the noise filter can be grounded as described in Embodiment 1 in a state where a ground pattern configuration having a plane shape and a wide width is maintained, the self-resonance frequency is higher than or equal to 50 MHz even when the capacitance is greater than or equal to 1 nF, in other words, even when the self-resonance frequency is higher than or equal to 50 MHz, a common mode noise filter, by which a noise attenuation effect is realized, can be realized. 
     Moreover, the common mode noise filter  700  according to Embodiment 1 has a board configuration, whereby heat is easily transferred in a vertical direction with respect to a surface of a board, and a width of the ground patterns is wide, so that a noise can be effectively transferred to the radiating fin  800 . As a result, the cross-sectional areas of the winding patterns, which compose the common mode noise filter  700 , can be reduced, and moreover, an extra component, by which joule heat of the winding patterns is radiated, is not required, so that an effect for downsizing the whole of the noise filter is realized. 
     In the noise filter according Embodiment 1, the noise filter is explained by using a pattern in which the winding is wound from the outside as indicated in  FIG. 4 . In a configuration in which the winding is wound from the outside, a pulled length of the ground layer is shorter than a pulled length of the ground layer in a case where the winding is wound from the inside as indicated in  FIG. 8 , whereby a wiring inductance of a capacitor is reduced, so that a noise reduction effect can be maintained to a higher frequency. Moreover, on the other hand, when the winding is wound from the inside, the number of pattern layers, in a case where the identical number of patterns is realized, is smaller than the number of pattern layers when the winding is wound from the outside. Therefore, as a result, a total length of the winding patterns is shortened, and a heating value can be suppressed at a small value. The outside, which is described above, indicates an outer circumference side (outside) of a common mode magnetic flux, by which a closed magnetic passage is formed in a magnetic material, in a UU core or a UI core. 
     Moreover, in the noise filter according Embodiment 1, although a case, in which the board-type winding patterns are single-phase winding patterns, is described, the winding patterns are not limited to the single-phase winding patterns, and the noise filter can be similarly configured when the winding patterns are three-phase winding patterns, and the winding patterns are magnetically linked each other, so that a similar operation effect can be obtained. 
     Embodiment 2 
       FIG. 12  is an oblique perspective view for explaining a common mode noise filter according to Embodiment 2. The noise filter according to Embodiment 2 is a two-step noise filter  900  which is configured by using the two noise filters (common mode noise filters)  700  which are indicate in Embodiment 1. The noise filter  900  is configured as a two-step noise filter, whereby a noise attenuation effect is greatly improved. It is similar to the ground patterns according to Embodiment 1 that the ground patterns according to Embodiment 2 are extended to the outside of winding patterns so as to be arranged at an input-output terminal position. 
     Moreover, in a case of a common mode noise filter which is configured by combining an inductor and a capacitor, which are conventional and individual components, tow inductors are electrically connected or the inductor and the capacitor are electrically connected, so that it is required that a terminal is newly provided, and an arrangement area of the noise filter is larger than a sum of arrangement area of each of the components by which the noise filter is simply configured. 
     On the other hand, the common mode noise filter according to Embodiment 2 is a board-type noise filter in which a winding conductor and a ground conductor are configured by using a pattern, whereby a winding pattern and a ground pattern of the two-step noise filter can be integrally formed, so that a grounding area is not increased in accordance with a terminal connection, and the common mode noise filter is downsized. 
     Embodiment 3 
       FIG. 14  is an oblique perspective view illustrating a noise filter according to Embodiment 3, and  FIG. 14  indicates a state in which a radiating fin  1800  is attached.  FIG. 15  is a cross-sectional view along a “B-B” line of the common mode noise filter which is indicated in  FIG. 14 . It is similar to the ground patterns according to Embodiment 1 that ground patterns according to Embodiment 3 are extended to the outside of winding patterns so as to be arranged at an input-output terminal position. 
     The noise filter (common mode noise filter)  1700 , which is indicated in  FIG. 14 , is schematically configured, as similar to the noise filter according to Embodiment 1, by using a winding conductor  1100  (refer to  FIG. 16  and  FIG. 17 ) which composes winding patterns, a dielectric (or referred to as a dielectric resin)  1200  by which a component between the dielectric and the winding conductor is insulated, a ground conductor which composes a ground pattern  119  and a ground pattern  124 , and a magnetic material core  1400 . 
     A groove is provided, as similar to the groove according to Embodiment 1, at the radiating fin  1800 , and a low portion of the magnetic material core  1400  is fitted to the groove so as to be installed. Moreover, the noise filter is attached to the radiating fin  1800  by using conductive screws  1600 , and the attachment configuration of the noise filter according to Embodiment 3 is similar to the attachment configuration of the noise filter and the radiating fin by using the conductive screws  600  according to Embodiment 1. 
     The magnetic material core  1400  has a configuration in which two cores having a E shape (E-shaped cores) are combined, or a E-shaped core and a core having a I shape (I-shaped core) are combined. 
     The winding conductor  1100  is used as windings which are composed of a conductor having a plane shape. The windings are formed with a board configuration, and the dielectric resin  1200  (refer to  FIG. 15 ) for insulating is sandwiched between the windings. Moreover, an edge surface of the conductor is covered by a dielectric resin in order to enhance an insulation capability. In an example according to Embodiment 3, two-turn windings are wound, and the two-turn windings are respectively composed of three-layered conductor layers at a positive pole side and a negative pole side, and a first layer and a eighth layer compose ground layers. In Embodiment 3, the noise filter is explained by using an example in which the E-shaped cores are used as the magnetic material core  1400 , and the magnetic material core  1400  is set at a position of an upper-lower relation at a positive pole side and a negative pole side of the winding patterns. 
       FIG. 16  and  FIG. 17  are plane views for explaining configurations of winding patterns at the winding conductor  1100  according to Embodiment 3.  FIG. 16( a )  through  FIG. 16( c )  indicate each of a winding pattern  101 , a winding pattern  107 , and a winding pattern  113 , which compose the winding patterns at positive pole sides at a second layer, a third layer, and a fourth layer.  FIG. 17( a )  through  FIG. 17( c )  indicate each of a winding pattern  116 , a winding pattern  110 , and a winding pattern  104 , which compose the winding patterns at negative pole sides at a fifth layer, a sixth layer, and a seventh layer. In the noise filter according to Embodiment 3, the winding patterns at the second layer through the seventh layer are formed with a sequence of the winding pattern  101 , the winding pattern  107 , the winding pattern  113 , the winding pattern  116 , the winding pattern  110 , and the winding pattern  104 . 
     A winding pattern input terminal  103  at a positive pole side, a winding pattern input terminal  106  at a negative pole side, a winding pattern output terminal  114  at a positive pole side, and a winding pattern output terminal  118  at a negative pole side are provided at each of the winding patterns. An end portion (or referred to as a connection position)  102  and an end portion  108  between terminals at the second layer and the third layer, which are positioned between the winding patterns, an end portion  109  and an end portion  115  between terminals at the third layer and the fourth layer, an end portion  117  and an end portion  112  between terminals at the fifth layer and the sixth layer, and a terminal portion  111  and an end portion  105  between terminals at the sixth layer and the seventh layer are electrically connected by using, for example, an inner via hole (IVH). In this case, when an electric current density at a via hole portion is enhanced, a heating value at a via hole position is increased, so that it is desirable that a plurality of via holes are formed in a state where cross-sectional areas of the via holes are similar to cross-sectional areas of the winding patterns. 
       FIG. 18  are plane views illustrating ground patterns of the noise filter according to Embodiment 3.  FIG. 18( a )  indicates a ground pattern  124  at the first layer, and  FIG. 18( b )  indicates a ground pattern  119  at the seventh layer, and capacitors to the ground are respectively formed between the first layer and the second layer and between the sixth layer and the seventh layer. It is required that a slit  120  and a slit  122  are provided at the ground pattern  124  and the ground pattern  119  in a similar way of the noise filter according to Embodiment 1. Moreover, in reference to the grounding positions of the ground layer as described in Embodiment 1, it is required that the ground layer is grounded in such a way that a direction of a noise electric current (a noise electric current at an outward passage), which is flowed through the winding patterns, is reverse to a direction of a noise electric current (a noise electric current at a return passage), which is passed through the ground patterns and is flowed to a grounding electric potential. In the noise filter according to Embodiment 3, the grounding positions of the ground layer are respectively provided at one position of the positive pole side and at one position of the negative pole side. 
     Embodiment 4 
       FIG. 19  is a cross-sectional view illustrating a common mode noise filter which is a noise filter according to Embodiment 4. A cross-sectional position is corresponding to the “B-B” line in  FIG. 14  in which the noise filter according to Embodiment 3 is indicated. A winding  127  at a positive pole side and a winding  128  at a negative pole side are insulated by a spacer  129  which is made of an insulator. 
       FIG. 20  are plane views illustrating winding patterns of the noise filter according to Embodiment 4, and  FIG. 20( a )  indicates a positive pole side, and  FIG. 20( b )  indicates a negative pole side.  FIG. 21  are plane views illustrating ground patterns of the noise filter according to Embodiment 4, and  FIG. 21( a )  indicates a positive pole side, and  FIG. 21( b )  indicates a negative pole side. It is similar to the ground patterns according to Embodiment 1 that the ground patterns according to Embodiment 4 are extended to the outside of the winding patterns so as to be arranged at an input-output terminal position. 
     A ground pattern  124  and a winding pattern  101  at the positive pole side, by which a capacitor to the ground is formed, are integrated, for example, as a board, and a large capacitance is realized by using a dielectric which is positioned between the ground pattern  124  and the winding pattern  101 . A capacitor to the ground at the negative pole side is similarly formed. A configuration of a portion, by which the above-described capacitor is formed, is similar to the configuration according to Embodiment 3. 
     In a configuration of the noise filter according to Embodiment 4, the winding  127  and the winding  128 , which are components except for a component composing the capacitor, are not formed with a pattern according to Embodiment 3, and the winding  127  and the winding  128  are formed with, for example, a spiral shape. As described above, a winding, which is not facing to a ground pattern of a winding conductor, is not formed by using a board pattern, and the winding is formed by using a sequential conductor, whereby a dielectric is not included between windings having an identical polarity, so that a capacitance between the windings can be decreased. A capacitance (parasitic capacitance) Cs between the windings having an identical polarity is arranged, as indicated by using an equivalent circuit in  FIG. 22 , in parallel to an inductance (common mode inductance) L, so that a noise reduction capability of the noise filter can be improved when the capacitance Cs is decreased. A relation between the capacitance Cs and a capacitance Cg to the ground is indicated as  FIG. 22 . In addition, a connection of the winding pattern  101  and a winding pattern  104 , by which the capacitance Cg to the ground is formed, and a connection of the winding  127  and the winding  128  are performed by using a screw stopping process, a welding process or the like at a connection position  125  and a connection position  126 . 
       FIG. 23  is an oblique perspective view illustrating a noise filter  2000  according to Embodiment 5, and  FIG. 23  indicates a state in which a radiating fin  3800  is attached. A winding conductor is formed with a spiral shape, as similar to the winding conductor according to Embodiment 4, and a dielectric is not included between the windings having an identical polarity, so that the capacitance between the windings can be decreased. Therefore, the capacitance, which is parallel to an inductance which is formed by using the windings and the magnetic material core, is decreased, and a noise reduction capability is improved. 
       FIG. 24  are oblique perspective views in which a capacitor component  2100  and a capacitor component  2200 , by which a capacitor of the noise filter according to Embodiment 5 is configured, are excerpted.  FIG. 24( a )  indicates the capacitor component  2100  at a positive pole side, and  FIG. 24( b )  indicates the capacitor component at a negative pole side. 
       FIG. 25  are views illustrating winding patterns and ground patterns of the capacitor component  2100  and the capacitor component  2200 , by which the capacitor according to Embodiment 5 is configured.  FIG. 25( a )  indicates a winding pattern  2201  at the positive pole side and a ground pattern at the positive pole side, and  FIG. 25( b )  indicates a winding pattern at the negative pole side and a ground pattern at the negative pole side. It is similar to the noise filter according to Embodiment 1 that a ground pattern  2104  and a ground pattern  2204  are extended to the outside of the winding patterns so as to be arranged at an input-output terminal position  2103  and an input-output terminal position  2203 , and a slit  2105  and a slit  2205  are formed. It is similar to the noise filter according to Embodiment 1 that a dielectric resin is sandwiched between the winding pattern  2201  and a winding pattern  2101  and the ground pattern  2204  and the ground pattern  2104 , and a capacitor is formed between the winding patterns and the ground patterns, and a function for reducing a noise is included. The noise filter according to Embodiment 5 is different from the noise filters according to Embodiment 1 through Embodiment 4, and the noise filter according to Embodiment 5 has a characteristic in which the ground patterns are bent. 
       FIG. 26  indicate winding conductors according to Embodiment 5, which are formed with a spiral shape, and  FIG. 26( a )  is an oblique perspective view illustrating a winding conductor  2800  at the positive pole side, and  FIG. 26( b )  is an oblique perspective view illustrating a winding conductor  2700  at the negative pole side. A terminal portion  2701  and a terminal portion  2801  are respectively and electrically connected to an input-output terminal position  2202  and an input-output terminal position  2102 , which are indicated in  FIG. 25 , by using a screw stopping process, a welding process or the like. 
       FIG. 27  is a cross-sectional view along a cutting line (“C-C” arrow view) which is indicated in  FIG. 23 . In the noise filter according to Embodiment 5, for example, a metallic pressing component  2300 , by which a magnetic material core  2400  is pressed to the radiating fin  3800 , is provided. In an example according to Embodiment 5, the winding conductor  2800  is pressed to the radiating fin  3800  by using, for example, a screw stopping process or the like, whereby a side surface of the winding conductor  2700  is pressed to an insulating sheet  3100  having a high heat conductivity via an insulating sheet  2500  having a high heat conductivity, the magnetic material core  2400 , and an insulating spacer  3000 . 
     In a case of an electric power conversion device having a large capacity, in which a large electric current, which is larger than or equal to several dozen amperes, is flowed, large joule heat is generated in accordance with a resistance component of a winding. As explained in Embodiment 1, the capacitor component  2100  and the capacitor component  2200 , in which a capacitor is formed between the winding pattern and the ground pattern by using the dielectric, are used not only as a passage of a noise electric current but also as a propagation passage of heat to a radiating fin, so that the capacitor component  2100  and the capacitor component  2200  have an excellent heat radiation capability. Therefore, a cross-sectional area of the winding conductor can be reduced, and as a result, the magnetic material core  2400  can be downsized, so that the whole of the noise filter can be downsized. Moreover, in the noise filter according to Embodiment 5, heat is propagated to the metallic component  2900 , which is connected to the radiating fin  3800 , through a side surface of the winding conductor via the insulating sheet  3100  having a high heat electric capability, so that a heat radiation capability of the noise filter is improved, the whole of the noise filter can be downsized. In a case in which the magnetic material core  2400  has a high electric conductivity, when the winding conductor  2700  is directly pressed the insulating sheet  3100  by using the magnetic material core  2400 , a noise electric current is flowed from the winding to the magnetic material cover  2400 , and a noise propagation passage, wwhich bypasses the noise filter, is formed, and it is difficult that an effect of the noise filter is enhanced to a maximum effect, so that it is desirable that a material having an insulation capability is used. Although a reason, in which the insulating sheet  3100  has an insulation capability, is similarly explained, in order to more reduce a contact heat resistance of the winding conductor  2700  and a metallic component  2900 , it is desirable that the winding conductor  2700  and the metallic component  2900  are used by sandwiching a soft insulating sheet. When the insulating spacer  3000  has a configuration in which a component having an insulation capability and a spring are combined, the winding conductor  2700  can be pressed to tbe insulating sheet  3100  by using an elastic force, whereby an allowable dimension error of the winding or a ferrite core is increased, so that there is an effect in which a manufacturing cost is reduced. 
     Moreover, when self-heat of the magnetic material core  2400  is generated, or heat is propagated from the winding conductor  2700  to the magnetic material core  2400 , a temperature of the magnetic material core  2400  is raised. The magnetic material core  2400  generally has a property in which a characteristic is varied with respect to a temperature variation. In order to suppress the variation, it is desirable that the pressing component  2300 , by which the magnetic material core  2400  is pressed, is made of a metal. A method, by which heat is propagated from the side surface of the winding conductor to the radiating fin  3800 , which is described in Embodiment 5, is effective in the noise filter, which is covered by an insulator, according to Embodiment 1. 
     In addition, in the scope of the present invention, it is possible that each of embodiments is freely combined, or each of embodiments is suitably modified or omitted.
