Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

     On May 23, 2006, Simtek Corporation (the "Company") entered into a
preliminary agreement with Ronald Sartore, a director of the Company, whereby
Mr. Sartore would provide certain consulting services with respect to new
nvSRAM-based product definitions and other engineering-related matters at the
Company. Although the Company has not yet entered into a definitive written
agreement with Mr. Sartore (and neither party has agreed to all terms of Mr.
Sartore's engagement), the Company anticipates doing so in the near future and
intends to amend this Form 8-K upon entering into such definitive written
agreement to disclose the material terms of such definitive written agreement.
The Company anticipates that it will engage Mr. Sartore for a period of
approximately 13 weeks (four days per week) and expects to compensate Mr.
Sartore $1,400 per day for his services.
