We demonstrate low leakage surface gating of an indium arsenide heterostructure with the two-dimensional electron gas close to the surface. Gating is made possible by growing an aluminum oxide layer on top of the device. We find that the depletion point can be changed by applying a positive gate voltage and we see hysteresis when the voltage is swept below depletion.
