Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a sandpaper, and more particularly to a sandpaper for grinding a carrier film, wherein the carrier film is used in a chemical mechanical polishing process to carry a semiconductor Wafer. [Prior Art] As the semiconductor process becomes more and more sophisticated, the number of transistors that can be fabricated per unit area on the wafer is increasing, and the process and integrated circuit of the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) are integrated. The structure of Circuit; IC) is also becoming more and more complex. In other words, the materials and layers that make up the integrated circuit are greatly increased. Once the wafer surface becomes uneven due to the various layers of the complementary MOS, the difficulty of performing the subsequent processing steps will increase as the wafer surface flatness deteriorates. Therefore, the problem of uneven wafer surface is currently solved by a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) device. In general, a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus includes a carrier head on which a carrier film is mounted to carry a semiconductor wafer and face a wet abrasive surface. For example, a polishing pad, whether the polishing pad or the wafer carrier head is constantly rotating. The wafer carrier head is forced down onto the abrasive surface by a compressed gas system or the like, wherein the force of pressing the wafer carrier head down on the polishing pad can be adjusted as needed. A typical CMP process uses an elastomeric material as the carrier film 5 1276509 to carry the semiconductor wafer to withstand the pressure of the entire semiconductor wafer surface. The conventional uploading film is processed by the following steps: First, the wafer carrier carrying the film is mounted with the side of the carrier film facing down, back pressed on the -round sandpaper, and circular sandpaper For placement on the platform. Again, the platform is rotated to grind the carrier film with sandpaper. Among them, the circular sandpaper contains a concentric ring pattern. The surface of the concentric ring is a rough surface, and the area other than the concentric ring is the blade to remove the surface particles. In other words, the money grinds the carrier in a concentric ring pattern, and the area outside the concentric ring • has no grinding effect. However, the carrier film treated by the above method has a different surface shape and thus easily affects the manufacturing yield of the subsequent chemical mechanical polishing process. In general, when a carrier film having a poor surface shape is used to carry a semiconductor wafer in a chemical mechanical polishing process, the central portion of the surface of the semiconductor wafer after polishing is excessively ground, and the edge region is insufficiently ground. In addition, the conventional method for processing the carrier film requires too long a grinding time, so that the carrier film thickness is insufficient and the service life is shortened. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sandpaper for grinding a carrier film such that the carrier film has a preferred surface profile and is applied to a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus. Another object of the present invention is to provide a chemical mechanical polishing process that provides a preferred abrasive surface for a polished semiconductor wafer. In accordance with the above objects of the present invention, a sandpaper for polishing a carrier film is provided to provide a preferred profile of the carrier film, wherein the carrier film is mounted on a stage in a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus. To carry semiconductor wafers. The sandpaper comprises: a substrate, a central retention zone and a plurality of abrasive zones, wherein the abrasive zones are radially located on the substrate, and each of the abrasive zones is of equal size. The central retention zone is also located on the substrate and is a flat surface. Each of the grinding zones includes an inner retention zone, an outer retention zone and a raw sugar surface zone. Wherein, the inner reserved area and the rough surface area are adjacent to the central reserved area. The surface shape of the carrier film can be adjusted by the size of the inner retention zone, the outer retention zone and the rough surface zone. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the substrate further comprises a circular track' and the circular track is the movement of the center of the carrier film on the substrate when the sandpaper of the present invention is used to grind the carrier film. . In addition, the inner retention zone is located inside the circular trajectory and extends radially toward the center of the base, while the outer retention zone is located outside the circular trajectory and radially extends toward the perimeter of the substrate. In accordance with the above objects of the present invention, a chemical mechanical polishing process is provided which includes providing a stage on which a carrier film which has been ground by the sandpaper of the present invention is mounted. The carrier film is used to carry a semiconductor wafer on the stage, and the stage on which the semiconductor wafer is mounted is pressed back on a polishing platform with the semiconductor wafer facing downward. Next, the polishing platform is rotated to polish the semiconductor wafer. By virtue of the excellent surface shape of the carrier film, the pressure applied to the semiconductor wafer during polishing can be made substantially uniform, thereby providing better polishing uniformity of the polished semiconductor wafer. As apparent from the above, the application of the sandpaper of the present invention makes it possible to stably produce a carrier film having an excellent surface cross-sectional shape. In addition, if the semiconductor wafer is ground by a chemical mechanical polishing process using the carrier film, it will obtain a uniform surface. Furthermore, the carrier film produced by applying the sandpaper of the present invention has a long service life of 7 1276509. [Embodiment] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be discussed in detail later. However, it is noted that the present invention provides many concepts that are practicable and that the concept can be embodied in terms of specific combinations. The several embodiments discussed below are merely illustrative of the use and manufacture of the present invention in a particular manner, and this embodiment does not limit the scope of the invention. Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a top plan view of a preferred embodiment of a sandpaper in accordance with the present invention. The sandpaper 100 comprises a circular base 120, a central retention zone 150 and a plurality of abrasive zones 200 (as indicated by the dashed lines in Figure 1). The central retention zone 150 and the plurality of abrasive zones 200 are both located on the circular base 120, and the central retention zone 150 is a flat surface. The abrasive zone 200 includes an inner retention zone 210, an outer retention zone 220 and a rough surface zone 230. In the present embodiment, the sandpaper 100 includes sixteen abrasive regions 2 of the same size, and is radially equally divided on the circular substrate 120 except for the central retention region 15〇 (in other words, the periphery of the polishing region 200) The boundaries 240, 250 are located on the bisector of the sixteenth division of the circular base 120). However, as long as the spirit of the invention is not violated, the sandpaper may contain more or less abrasive zones. The rough surface area 23〇 contains a plurality of abrasive particles for grinding the carrier film. In an embodiment, the central retention zone 150 is circular and located at the center of the substrate 120. The circular base 120 includes a circular track 11〇 in which the circular footprint is located on the circular base 120. In addition, the retention zone 210 within the abrasive zone 200 is located inside the circular trace 110, while the retention zone 220 outside of the abrasive zone 200 is located outside the circular track 11〇. 8 1276509 The retention zone 210 within the abrasive zone 200 extends radially inward from the intersection 260 of the circular trace 110 and the perimeter 240 of the abrasive zone 200 and abuts the perimeter of the central retention zone 150. The shape of the inner retaining region 210 is radially inwardly expanded by the circular trajectory 110 to a desired size, and the user can adjust the surface shape and the depth of the profile of the carrier film by the size of the inner retaining region 210. When the area of the inner reserved area 210 is larger, the area of the rough wheel surface area 230 in the grinding area 2 is relatively smaller, so that the depth of the section after the carrier film is polished is shallower. In addition, the inner retention zone endpoints 212, 214 are located on the inner perimeter 270 of the abrasive zone 200. Wherein the inner retention zone endpoint 212 is preferably located at the intersection of the perimeter 240 and the inner perimeter 270 of the abrasive zone 200, and the inner retention zone endpoint 214 is preferably located at the perimeter of the abrasive zone 2〇〇 240 With the perimeter 250 along the center point of the inner perimeter 270. In one embodiment, the inner perimeter 270 of the abrasive zone 2 重叠 overlaps the perimeter of the central retention zone 260. The shape of the remaining area 220 outside the grinding zone 200 is radially outwardly expanded by the circular footprint 110 to a desired size, and the user can adjust the surface shape and profile of the carrier film by the size of the outer retention zone 22〇. depth. When the area of the outer reserved area 220 is larger, the area of the thick chain surface area 230 in the grinding area 2 is relatively smaller, so that the depth of the section after the carrier film is polished is shallower. Moreover, the outer retention zone 220 extends radially outward from the intersection 260 of the circular trajectory 11 〇 and the perimeter 240 of the abrasive zone 2 , and further the retention zone 22 extends to the outer perimeter of the abrasive zone 200 280. In addition, the outer retention zone endpoints 222, 224 are located on the outer perimeter 280. Wherein, the outer retention zone end point 222 is preferably located at the intersection of the perimeter 240 and the outer perimeter 280 of the abrasive zone 200, and the outer retention zone end point 224 is preferably located at the perimeter 240 of the abrasive zone 2〇〇 With the perimeter 250 along the center of the outer perimeter 280. 9 1276509 Referring to Figure 2, there is shown a side view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention for polishing a carrier film. First, the carrier film stage 400 on which the carrier film 3 is mounted is pressed against the platform on which the sandpaper 100 has been placed with the cymbal of the carrier film 300 facing downward, and the carrier film stage 4 〇〇 The other end is rotatably coupled to a machine 500. Next, the stage is rotated to grind the carrier film 300 with the sandpaper 1〇〇. In a preferred embodiment, the rotational speed of the rotating platform is 35 to 40 revolutions per minute and the grinding time is 2 to 3 minutes. The abrasive particles of the rough surface area 230 of the sandpaper 1 are preferably 6 microns. In another embodiment, after the carrier film 300 is treated with sandpaper, another sandpaper having different roughness can be prepared, for example, the abrasive particles are 50 micrometers, which are formed into the same pattern as the sandpaper 100, and then This sandpaper is used to modify the surface of the carrier film 300. The circular trajectory 110 is a trajectory of the center of the carrier film 3 于 on the circular base 120 when the sandpaper 100 of the preferred embodiment of the drawings is used to polish the carrier film 300. Therefore, the center of the carrier film 3〇〇 has the longest grinding time during the grinding, which ensures that the center of the carrier film is lower than the edge of the film, so that the carrier film 3 has a better surface shape. And the depth of the section. According to the method of the present invention, the carrier film is processed by the method of the present invention, and the depth of the profile after processing can be controlled, and a symmetrical surface shape can be obtained. Referring to FIG. 3, there is shown a cross-sectional shape of a carrier film after polishing a carrier film abrasive paper according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is a circular arc curve symmetrical to the center of the carrier film, such as point B and point. The D system is of equal height. In addition, the center C of the carrier film is about 4 microns to 5 microns lower than the edges A, E. In the subsequent chemical mechanical polishing process, the semiconductor wafer can be carried by the carrier of the processed carrier film, and the upper surface of the semiconductor wafer is pressed against a polishing platform in a manner of being lower than 1276509. The polishing platform is then rotated to grind the semiconductor wafer. By the excellent surface shape of the carrier film, the pressure of the semiconductor crystal in the chemical mechanical polishing process is substantially equal, so that the polished semiconductor wafer has a better surface polishing degree. It will be apparent from the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention that the carrier film after application of the sandpaper of the present invention will have a preferred surface cross-sectional shape, and the carrier film will also have a long service life. In addition, if the carrier film having a good surface profile is applied to the subsequent chemical mechanical polishing process, the semiconductor wafer polished by the chemical mechanical polishing process will have better surface polishing uniformity. Although the present invention has been described above in terms of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the invention, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
