	Simtek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Simtek (Simulation Technology) was an F1 car constructor and racing team, founded in 1989 by Max Mosley and Nick Wirth.
		Simtek was the team involved in BMW's attempt to found a works team in 1990, and although this did not happen, the chassis was sold to the Andrea Moda team for the 1992 season.
		For the 1994 season, Simtek entered F1 proper, with Cosworth power, and with Roland Ratzenberger (who only had funding for a part-season) and David Brabham as drivers, and MTV as their primary sponsor.

	Simtek Expands Nonvolatile Memory Business Model
		Simtek has been using its silicon-nitride-oxide-semiconductor (SNOS) process to manufacture nonvolatile static RAM products for over 10 years and has developed unique patented architectures and process expertise.
		Simtek's technology is especially valuable as chip geometries shrink to 0.25 micron and below, since traditional flash memory processes do not integrate well with fine-line logic processes.
