InAs/InP quantum well (QW) structures are grown on InP substrates by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HYPE) in a continuous mCi H2 HC1 flow with alternate supply of AsH3 and PH3. Photoluminescence peaks due to InAs QW are clearly detected with the higher energy ever reported (1. 23 eV) and with very good value for the full half width maximum (FHWM up to 1 3 meV). The evolution of the peak emission as a function of thickness leads us to determine a critical thickness of 7-8 ML for the InAs/InP system.
