We propose a spin-field-effect transistor based on spin-orbit coupling of both the Rashba and the Dresselhaus types. Different from earlier proposals, spin transport through our device is tolerant against spin-independent scattering processes. Hence the requirement of strictly ballistic transport can be relaxed. This follows from a unique interplay between the Dresselhaus and the Rashba coupling; these can be tuned to have equal strengths, leading to k-independent eigenspinors even in two dimensions. We discuss two-dimensional devices as well as quantum wires. In the latter, our setup presents strictly parabolic dispersions which avoids complications from anticrossings of different bands.
