[SIMTEK LOGO]


                       SIMTEK ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS
                          FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2000

COLORADO SPRINGS,  Colorado - November 13, 2000 -- Simtek Corporation,  provider
of high performance nonvolatile memory and logic integrated circuits , announced
financial  results for the third quarter and first nine months ending  September
30, 2000.

Simtek  Corporation  ("Simtek" or the  "Company")  recorded net product sales of
$2,996,470  for the third  quarter of 2000 and  $9,220,772  for the nine  months
ended  September 30, 2000 up from the $1,782,544  recorded for the third quarter
1999 and the $5,443,359 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

During the quarter  Simtek entered into  agreements  resulting in the issuing of
new Simtek  common  stock in exchange  for  financial  consulting  services  and
intellectual  property  assets,  both of which are designed to enhance  Simtek's
position going  forward.  The cost for the financial  consulting  shares will be
expensed as the services are performed  over the 12 month term of the contracts.
On  September  29,  2000,  the Company  purchased  technology  assets  generally
consisting of certain patents,  trade secrets and trademarks from WebGear,  Inc.
The Company issued  3,400,000 shares of its common stock and returned to WebGear
the 1,875,000  shares of WebGear common stock that Simtek  acquired from WebGear
on June 16, 2000.

The Company  recorded a net loss of $4,235,689  and $3,517,799 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, as compared to a net loss of
$250,429 and $454,091  for the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1999,
respectively. The decrease was due to entries recorded for the issuance of stock
to WebGear and two  investment  bankers.  Without the  extraordinary  charges of
approximately  $4,385,000  in Simtek  common  stock for  WebGear's  intellectual
property assets and for the investment banker consulting services,  Simtek would
have shown  $191,823  and  $909,713  in net income for the three and nine months
ended  September  30,  2000,  respectively.  This is an increase of $442,252 and
$1,363,804 for the two periods,  respectively,  in the third quarter period that
traditionally slows marginally due to European manufacturing  vacations.  Simtek
has also been managing raw material  availability with its primary wafer foundry
during this period of industry shortages to ensure increasing wafer availability
going  forward  into 2001.  As of  September  30, 2000 Simtek had open  purchase
orders valued at  approximately  $6,058,000,  which are scheduled to ship over a
six month period.

"Simtek is achieving  approximately 75% revenue growth and an 8 fold increase in
operating income year over year while we are adding  infrastructure  designed to
provide the resources  required to gain access to exciting new markets,"  stated
Douglas  Mitchell,  Simtek's  president  and CEO.  "We have  built a three  tier
strategy,  based on our memory,  logic, and finally a wireless market direction.
Over the next couple of years we will grow our core businesses while integrating
their capabilities to capitalize on emerging markets.  With all of this progress
we are also now  positioned to expose the company to the  investment  community,
and we're very happy to have World Trade Partners and their  affiliates on board
to help guide us through Wall Street over the next year."
