InAs quantum well heterostructures are of considerable interest for mesoscopic device applications such as scanning probe and magnetic recording sensors, which require the channel to be close to the surface. Here we report on magnetotransport measurements of AlSb/InAs/AlSb Hall bars at a shallow depth of 20 nm. Analysis of the observed Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations and modeling show that spin splitting energies in excess of 2.3 meV occur at zero magnetic field. We conclude that the spin-splitting results from the Rashba effect due to the band bending in the quantum well. This is caused by substantial electron transfer from the surface to the quantum well and becomes significant when the quantum well is located near the surface.
