The Britney Spears' Guide to Semiconductor Physics is an informative but tongue-in-cheek website designed to be instructive in semiconductor physics. Centered on the popularity and sex appeal of American pop singer Britney Spears, it offers a humorous play on the teaching of physics. It was created by Carl Hepburn while a postgraduate at the University of Essex.

The website has been featured on websites ranging from BBC News to MTV.[1][2] A 2016 article in Vice magazine uses it as an example ("a living relic") of historical viral phenomena.[3]

Subjects include "The Basics of Semiconductors", "Density of States", and "Photolithography" among others. The site also includes a glossary of terms humorously entitled "Lip-glossary of Semiconductor Terms".
