Abstract: The IR/UV mixing in the non-commutative (NC) field theory is investigated in Carlson-Carone-Zobin (CCZ) formalism of Lorentz-invariant NC field theory provided that the fields are `independent' of the `internal' coordinates $het{a}^{muu}$. A new regularization scheme called NC regularizatioon is then proposed, which removes the Lorentz-invariant IR singularity from the theory. It requires the usual UV limit $Lambdaoinfty$ to be accompanied with the commutative limit $ao0$ with $Lambd{a}^2{a}^2$ fixed, where $a$ is the length parameter in the theory. The new UV limit gives the usual renormalized amplitude of the one-loop self-energy diagram of $ph{i}^3$ model. It is shown that the new regularization is gauge-invariant, that is, the non-transverse part of the vacuum polarization in QED is automatically transverse in Lorentz-invariant NCQED but the two transverse pieces, one of which is already transverse in QED, possesses Lorentz-invariant IR singularity which should be `subtracted off' at zero external momentum squared. The subtraction leads to the same result as the renormalized one by Pauli-Villars or dimensional regularizations. Other diagrams with three-point vertices which contribute to the photon self-energy in Lorentz-non-invariant NCQED all vanish due to Lorentz invariance under the assumption adopted, while the tadpole diagram gives a finite contribution to the charge renormalization which vanishes if $Lambd{a}^2{a}^{2}o0$. Lorentz-invariant NC $ph{i}^4$ and scalar Yukawa models are also discussed in the one-loop approximation. A comment is made that Lorentz-invariance might lead to a decoupling of U(1) part from SU(N) in NC U(N) gauge theory.
