Item 1.  Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered.

This registration statement on Form 8-A relates to the registration under
Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of shares of
the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Simtek
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Registrant"). The description of the
Common Stock to be registered hereunder is set forth under the caption
"Description of Securities" in the Prospectus filed by the Registrant with the
Commission on October 6, 2006 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and is hereby incorporated by reference. The Prospectus
was filed in connection with the Registrant's Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to
Registration Statement on Form S-1, Registration No. 333-132180 (the
"Registration Statement"), which was declared effective by the Commission on
October 5, 2006.

The Common Stock is currently registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin
Board ("OTCBB"). The Registrant anticipates that the listing of the Common Stock
on OTCBB will be terminated following the closing of trading on OTCBB on January
9, 2007 and that the listing of the Common Stock on NASDAQ will commence at the
opening of trading on NASDAQ on January 10, 2007 under the symbol "SMTK."
