In this work we investigate spin diffusion in InAs quantum wells with the Rashba spin-orbit coupling modulated by a gate voltage. The gate voltage dependence of the spin diffusion under different temperatures is studied with all the scattering explicitly included. Our result partially supports the claim of the realization of the Datta-Das spin-injected field effect transistor by Koo {\it et al.} [Science {\bf 325}, 1515 (2009)]. We also show that the scattering plays an important role in spin diffusion in such a system.
