                         Simtek Moves to Sampling Stage
                  For 1 MegaBit nvSRAM Initial Product Offering

Colorado Springs, CO, September 8, 2003 -- Simtek Corporation (OTC BB: SRAM),
provider of the world's fastest re-programmable nonvolatile semiconductor
memories, is now sampling the first of its 1 Mbit nvSRAM family of products.

Doug Mitchell, chief executive officer, said samples are available for system
designers to initiate component evaluation required for corporate purchasing
approvals. "We are pleased to have achieved this latest milestone as we move
closer to volume production runs scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year,"
Mitchell said. "We expect to provide samples to numerous existing and
prospective customers who are eager to test and validate the cost and
functionality benefits our 1 Mbit nvSRAM product offers."

The STK14CA8 1 Mbit nvSRAM is processed on the advanced 0.25 micron CMOS
production line at DongbuAnam Semiconductor's Bucheon, Korea facility. This 1
Mbit nvSRAM provides four times the memory density of its 256Kbit predecessor,
while supporting faster access speeds and lower power consumption.

The STK14CA8 is offered in 32 pin SOIC and DIP packages along with the new,
smaller 48 pin SSOP surface mount package. 50,000 piece pricing for the
STK14CA8-N45 is $9.85 ea. Data sheets for the product may be found on Simtek's
web site at http://www.simtek.com/product-selector-guide.htm.

Samples may be requested through Simtek sales representatives who can be located
at http://www.simtek.com/sales/simtek-salesoffices.htm.

About the nvSRAM

The nvSRAM uses the world's only nonvolatile memory architecture to feature
truly unlimited read and write endurance without the use of a battery. The
architecture used in all of Simtek nvSRAMs guarantees unlimited read/write
endurance with greater than 100 year data retention and fast SRAM performance.
The nvSRAM eliminates the reliability concerns, functional disadvantages and
system design complexities of battery-backed SRAM and other nonvolatile memory
alternatives. Simtek's nvSRAM reliability satisfies the demanding requirements
of military and aerospace/defense markets. With its unlimited access cycles, it
provides any combination of volatile and nonvolatile storage, replacing both




SRAM and EEPROM in the end system. All nvSRAM products include the unlimited
endurance feature and range in density from 4Kb to 1Mb. Simtek's 1Mb nvSRAM is
the highest density, full featured, high performance nonvolatile memory
available.
