Abstract: The present invention provides a pyrophosphoric acid bath for use in Cu—Sn alloy plating without containing a cyanic ion comprising a reaction product (A) of an amine derivative and an epihalohydrin in a 1:1 mole ratio and a cationic surfactant (B) and, when necessary, further comprising a surface tension adjusting agent (C), a bath stabilizer (D) and an N-benzylpyridinium derivative (E) as additives. According to the bath of the present invention, by changing a bath composition of copper and tin or by employing a characteristic additive, a stable film with a silver-white, gold, copper or light black color can be obtained. By increasing tin contents in the bath, the bath can be used for lead-free solder plating. The bath is safe in handling and hygienic and, moreover, has no sewage process and environmental problems since it contains neither cyanic compound nor formaldehyde derivative.
