REVENUE AND EPS ABOVE GUIDANCE</b></font></p>

<p><font size="2">Flanders, NJ, February 7, 2005 - Rudolph Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:
RTEC), a leading provider of process control equipment for thin film measurement and
macro-defect inspection during integrated circuit manufacturing, today announced
financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2004.</font></p>

<p><font size="2"><b>Highlights for the fourth quarter include:</b></font></p>

<p><font size="2"><b>*&nbsp; Revenue of $23.1 million increases 45%
year-over-year <br>
* </b>&nbsp;<b>EPS of $0.12 increases 140% year-over-year<br>
*&nbsp; Operating profit increases 330% year-over-year to $2.5 million<br>
*&nbsp;</b>  <b>Balance sheet remains strong, with cash and marketable securities
totaling $76.7 million</b></font></p>
<font size="2">

<p>Discussing the fourth quarter results, Paul F. McLaughlin, Chairman and CEO commented:</font></p>
<font size="2">

"Rudolph
ended 2004 on a very positive note as we reported increased revenues for the 6<sup>th</sup>
straight quarter, despite an increasingly difficult market as the year came to a
close.&nbsp; We were particularly pleased
with the customer response to our new suite of macro-defect inspection tools
that we introduced last summer at Semicon West. We believe the "best-of-breed"
capability of these tools gives us a strong foothold in one of the fastest
growing market segments of process control.&nbsp;
We also began to see signs that our memory customers who have been big
users of our aluminum <i>Meta</i>PULSE(R)
tools may be adopting copper metallization sooner than we had originally
forecast.&nbsp; This may help to
accelerate the adoption of copper as the metal of choice across all device
types.&nbsp; Our fourth quarter strength
was across all technologies as we began shipping quantities of our new <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:
normal">ultra</i>-II(TM) transparent tools with multi-wavelength ellipsometry and
deep UV reflectometry capability needed to measure advanced ultra thin
transistor gate films.&quot;
The
Company's fourth quarter revenue increased 6% to $23.1 million compared to $21.8
million in the 2004 third quarter.&nbsp; Compared to the year-ago fourth
quarter, revenue increased 45% from $15.9 million.&nbsp; During the fourth
quarter, international sales represented approximately 67% of revenue while
domestic sales accounted for 33%.&nbsp; This compares to international sales of
70% and domestic sales of 30% in the year-ago quarter.

The Company continued its strong heritage of profitability as fourth quarter net
income totaled $2.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share compared to $844,000, or
$0.05 per diluted share, for the 2003 fourth quarter. Diluted earnings per share
was $0.01 above the high end of the Company's previously targeted range.&nbsp;
The Company reported net income of $2.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted
share for the 2004 third quarter.
 </font>
<font size="2">Fourth
quarter gross
margin was 47% compared to 48% in the 2004 third quarter, and 44% in the 2003
fourth quarter.&nbsp; As previously anticipated, the sequential gross margin
decrease reflects the Company's investment in its direct sales and support
operations for the Japanese market.&nbsp; The
year-over-year increase in gross margin is primarily due to an increase in
revenue, specifically, an increase in metal tool revenue, which increased 123%
year-over-year and typically has higher margins.&nbsp; In addition, gross margin increased due to the leverage
generated by fixed manufacturing and customer service costs representing a
smaller percentage of the overall cost of goods sold.
<p class="MsoBlockText">Research &amp; development (R&amp;D) expenses for the
fourth quarter totaled $3.6 million, compared to $3.9 million in the third
quarter of 2004, and $3.6 million in the year-ago period.&nbsp;
As a percentage of revenue, R&amp;D was 16%, compared to 18% last
quarter, and 23% in the same quarter last year.&nbsp;
The sequential decrease is primarily due to the timing of our new product
releases. The Company continues to maintain its commitment to investing in new
product development and enhancement to existing products as it positions itself
for future growth.&nbsp; We anticipate research and development expense will be a
similar amount in absolute dollars in the first quarter 2005.
</p>
<p class="MsoBlockText">Selling, general &amp; administrative (S,G&amp;A)
expenses for the fourth quarter totaled $4.4 million, compared to $3.9 million
in the third quarter of 2004, and $2.6 million in the prior year period.&nbsp;
As a percentage of the revenue, S,G&amp;A was 19% in the 2004 fourth quarter,
18% in the third quarter of 2004 and 16% in the prior year period.&nbsp; The
year-over-year increase in absolute dollars in primarily due to the expansion of
our direct sales and support operations in Japan, increased compensation costs,
increased sales and administrative costs at the Company's branch offices, and an
increase in costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 reporting
compliance.</p>
<h3>

<p class="MsoBlockText">The Company's cash and marketable securities totaled
$76.7 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2004. Working capital

RUDOLPH TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER
REVENUE AND EPS ABOVE GUIDANCE
Flanders, NJ, February 7, 2005 - Rudolph Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:
RTEC), a leading provider of process control equipment for thin film measurement and
macro-defect inspection during integrated circuit manufacturing, today announced
financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2004.
Highlights for the fourth quarter include:
*  Revenue of $23.1 million increases 45%
year-over-year
*
EPS of $0.12 increases 140% year-over-year
*  Operating profit increases 330% year-over-year to $2.5 million
*
Balance sheet remains strong, with cash and marketable securities
totaling $76.7 million
Discussing the fourth quarter results, Paul F. McLaughlin, Chairman and CEO commented:
"Rudolph
ended 2004 on a very positive note as we reported increased revenues for the 6
th
straight quarter, despite an increasingly difficult market as the year came to a
close.  We were particularly pleased
with the customer response to our new suite of macro-defect inspection tools
that we introduced last summer at Semicon West. We believe the "best-of-breed"
capability of these tools gives us a strong foothold in one of the fastest
growing market segments of process control. 
We also began to see signs that our memory customers who have been big
users of our aluminum
Meta
PULSE(R)
tools may be adopting copper metallization sooner than we had originally
forecast.  This may help to
accelerate the adoption of copper as the metal of choice across all device
types.  Our fourth quarter strength
was across all technologies as we began shipping quantities of our new
ultra
-II(TM) transparent tools with multi-wavelength ellipsometry and
deep UV reflectometry capability needed to measure advanced ultra thin
transistor gate films."
The
Company's fourth quarter revenue increased 6% to $23.1 million compared to $21.8
million in the 2004 third quarter.  Compared to the year-ago fourth
quarter, revenue increased 45% from $15.9 million.  During the fourth
quarter, international sales represented approximately 67% of revenue while
domestic sales accounted for 33%.  This compares to international sales of
70% and domestic sales of 30% in the year-ago quarter.

The Company continued its strong heritage of profitability as fourth quarter net
income totaled $2.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted share compared to $844,000, or
$0.05 per diluted share, for the 2003 fourth quarter. Diluted earnings per share
was $0.01 above the high end of the Company's previously targeted range. 
The Company reported net income of $2.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted
share for the 2004 third quarter.
Fourth
quarter gross
margin was 47% compared to 48% in the 2004 third quarter, and 44% in the 2003
fourth quarter.  As previously anticipated, the sequential gross margin
decrease reflects the Company's investment in its direct sales and support
operations for the Japanese market.  The
year-over-year increase in gross margin is primarily due to an increase in
revenue, specifically, an increase in metal tool revenue, which increased 123%
year-over-year and typically has higher margins.  In addition, gross margin increased due to the leverage
generated by fixed manufacturing and customer service costs representing a
smaller percentage of the overall cost of goods sold.
Research & development (R&D) expenses for the
fourth quarter totaled $3.6 million, compared to $3.9 million in the third
quarter of 2004, and $3.6 million in the year-ago period. 
As a percentage of revenue, R&D was 16%, compared to 18% last
quarter, and 23% in the same quarter last year. 
The sequential decrease is primarily due to the timing of our new product
releases. The Company continues to maintain its commitment to investing in new
product development and enhancement to existing products as it positions itself
for future growth.  We anticipate research and development expense will be a
similar amount in absolute dollars in the first quarter 2005.
Selling, general & administrative (S,G&A)
expenses for the fourth quarter totaled $4.4 million, compared to $3.9 million
in the third quarter of 2004, and $2.6 million in the prior year period. 
As a percentage of the revenue, S,G&A was 19% in the 2004 fourth quarter,
18% in the third quarter of 2004 and 16% in the prior year period.  The
year-over-year increase in absolute dollars in primarily due to the expansion of
our direct sales and support operations in Japan, increased compensation costs,
increased sales and administrative costs at the Company's branch offices, and an
increase in costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 reporting
compliance.
Balance Sheet Strength
The Company's cash and marketable securities totaled
$76.7 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2004. Working capital
increased from September 30, 2004 to $120.1 million.
Outlook
The Company is currently anticipating revenue for the
first quarter ending March 31, 2005 to be flat compared to that of the 2004
fourth quarter revenue of $23.1 million. The Company is forecasting EPS of $.10
to $.12 per diluted share for the 2005 first quarter, excluding any cost related
to the Company's merger offer for August Technology.
