Optomechanical crystals are a promising device platform for quantum transduction and sensing. Precise targeting of the optical and acoustic resonance frequencies of these devices is crucial for future advances on these fronts. However, fabrication disorder in these wavelength-scale nanoscale devices typically leads to inhomogeneous resonance frequencies. Here we achieve in situ , selective frequency tuning of optical and acoustic resonances in silicon optomechanical crystals via electric field-induced nano-oxidation using an atomic-force microscope. Our method can achieve a tuning range >2nm (0.13%) for the optical resonance wavelength in the telecom C-band, and >60MHz (1.2%) for the acoustic resonance frequency at 5 GHz. The tuning resolution of 1.1 pm for the optical wavelength and 150 kHz for the acoustic frequency allows us to spectrally align multiple optomechanical crystal resonators using a pattern generation algorithm. Our results establish a method for precise post-fabrication tuning of optomechanical crystals. This technique can enable coupled optomechanical resonator arrays, scalable resonant optomechanical circuits, and frequency matching of microwave-optical quantum transducers.
