6 remains fully valid if defects with multiple charge _i states are individually indexed for each of their energy levels. It also provides a sufficient framework for both deep donor and deep acceptor compensation models. Note, however, that a simple comparison of the total numbers of donors and acceptors does not necessarily predict the conduction type of semi-insulating material as this will also depend on the actual deep-level ionization energies. 7) which states that the equilibrium concentration of all negative charges (ionized acceptors NA_m and free electrons n) has to equal the number of all positive charges (ionized donors ND_n and free holes p); km and kn indicate the actual charge states (1, 2,…).
