Sehat Sutardja and Dai run the company as an obsession and in their own image.
While at Berkeley Sehat met and married Weili Dai, a sprightly undergraduate programmer from Shanghai.
Sehat and Pantas planned to design a fast analog chip but needed a market.
The next day Sehat Sutardja summoned Steel to his office and, according to Steel, fired him.
The Chinese-born, U.S.-educated "geek" cofounded Marvell Technology Group in 1995 with her husband, Sehat Sutardja.
Answer: Sehat Sutardja, 45, and Weili Dai, 44, the husband and wife who co-founded and run Marvell.
Weili Dai started marvell Technology a decade ago, working alongside her engineer husband, Sehat Sutardja, and his brother, Pantas.
Pantas went to UC, Berkeley, followed by Sehat, and both eventually earned Ph.
Pantas says he was bored at IBM, and Sehat and Weili knew they wanted to start their own chip company.
Sehat and Pantas were so sure of their design that they sent it to Seagate before it had been fully tested.
Sehat and Pantas plan to double their storage business by getting their silicon into optical drives, especially the new high-definition DVD burners.
With Marvell, he admits he got lucky by accepting a cold call from Weili Dai and Sehat Sutardja, who were then unknown.
He and his wife are billionaires, as is Sehat's younger brother Pantas.
Sehat breezed through Iowa State University's electrical engineering program in six semesters.
Sehat and Pantas no longer rejigger circuits during the final design stage.
Sehat says he knew he could make chips for processing disk data that were smaller, cooler-burning and speedier than chips then on the market.
Sehat needed Pantas to translate Hong Kong electronics magazines into Indonesian.
When Sehat was 12, he taught himself analog signal processing by taking apart his family's Philips six-transistor radio and rebuilding it one component at a time.

After Sehat left Berkeley in 1988, he boasted that he was the best analog engineer in the world, according to several sources. (Sehat says others might have said that but he never did.) "He was cocky at the time, " Pantas remembers.
On Friday August 19, Sehat Sutardja, CEO and President of Marvell Semiconductor, gave a talk where he described how he got into electronics by learning to fix radios in Indonesia and how that eventually led to his coming to school in the US where he founded a major semiconductor company.
