The dataset of 1800 samples with five solder pastes and nine LED types is used to study the inter- and extrapolation abilities of the trained models with respect to differences in solders and component structure. The effect of solder joint degradation due to thermal shock cycles on the ability of the model to translate is also studied with four different aging states. The architecture used is a combination of convolutional layers with max pooling and fully connected layers.enConvolutional Neural Network (CNN)LEDMachine Learningnon-destructive testingScanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM)Solder JointsTransient Thermal Analysis (TTA)Predicting thermal resistance of solder joints based on Scanning Acoustic Microscopy using Artificial Neural Networksconference paper
