Stable configuration of He 3 + trimer in DIM approach is a linear asymmetrical instead of the linear symmetrical, for example 3 . Inclusion of the overlap to the DIM method gives relevant changes of results. Parameters of the overlap formula can be set properly to minimize deviation between ab initio data and resulted data from DIM model. The most important parameter is effective atomic number Z ef . Correct (i. e. symmetrical) stable configuration of He 3 + results from model DIM + overlap with Z ef < 2. The best agreement with ab initio data has been achieved for values of Z ef between 1.6 and 1.9, but resulting typical deviation about 60 meV in potential energy is not quite satisfactory. Next possibility to enhance accuracy of the DIM + overlap method is to fit some parameters in the overlap formula. How indicate our first results, this way is not very hopeful. We want to attain really better results by using the so called triatomics-in-molecules method (TRIM). In opposite of the DIM method, the TRIM method organically involves three-body corrections to the diatomic energies. As an input to the TRIM method serve three- atomic potential energy hypersurfaces for three lowest energy levels. Construction of these accurate hypersurfaces is our topical goal. The semiempirical methods mentioned above are based on the semi-classical Born-Oppenheimer approach, whose application to the lightweight helium atoms is quite limited. The main advantage of these methods is their computational inexpensivity.
