The branching ratios of the semileptonic decay widths of the charm mesons are analyzed, using three different models for the Isgur-Wise functions, such as \({D^0} \rightarrow {K^ - }{l^ + }\upsilon\), \({D^0} \rightarrow {\pi ^ - }{l^ + }\nu\), \({D_s} \rightarrow {K^0}{l^ + }\nu\) and \({D_s} \rightarrow \eta {l^ + }\nu\), where the form factors of these decays are discussed. The mass spectra of the charm mesons are obtained. We use a potential quark model and consider the non-relativistic Hamiltonian of the charm meson as a bound state of the quark-antiquark system. We take into account the harmonic-type confinement and also Hellmann potential, which is a superposition of the Coulomb and the Yukawa potential. Using the variational approach along with the harmonic oscillator wave functions, we evaluate the mass spectra of the charm mesons, the form factors and the semileptonic decay widths of \(D_{(s)}\). We present our results for masses of \(D, D_s\) and \(\eta\), the Isgur-Wise functions, the form factors of the semileptonic decays, and the branching fractions of the semileptonic decays of D and \(D_s\). Our results are motivating.
