We present results of an HST archive study of the star cluster NGC 3603. The color-magnitude diagram (CMD) and the radial profiles have been derived using HST-nicmos F110W and F171M images. As expected, the CMD shows that the cluster is very young (< 3 Myr) and that a significant portion of the stellar population (M < 4M⊙) is on the pre-main sequence phase. From the radial profiles, we derive a similar half-light radius for both wavebands of 0.17 pc.
