We have investigated electrical spin injection from Ni81Fe19 into an InAs quantum well through MgO tunneling barrier for potential application to InAs-based spin field effect transistor. Injected spin polarized current were detected in both nonlocal and local spin valve set-ups and the spin diffusion length and spin injection efficiency were analyzed. The spin diffusion length was estimated to be 1.6 {\mu}m in nonlocal set-up at 1.4 K. The spin polarization of Ni81Fe19/MgO/InAs as-deposited sample was relealed to be 6.9 %, while increased spin polarization of 8.9 % was observed by additional thermal treatment.
