Popis: A multilevel donor model is developed, which takes into account the negative charge and the two-electron occupation probability of DX centers and also considers coexisting hydrogenic states. By solving Schrodinger's and Poisson's equations self-consistently, this model is applied to calculate the sheet carrier density in metamorphic InxAl1−xAs/InxGa1−xAs HEMT structures on GaAs for indium contents x in the range 0.3⩽x⩽0.5. By comparing the calculations with reported Hall data, the experimentally observed reduction of free carrier density for compositions with x below 0.4 is attributed to the trapping at DX centers. The ionization energies of DX centers in the InxAl1−xAs system deduced for the investigated range of x are consistent with an extrapolation from data reported for compositions with 0
