Elastic properties of TaN films on (001)Si are investigated by surface Brillouin scattering (SBS). The velocity dispersion is obtained from Brillouin frequency shifts and surface acoustic wave phase velocities derived from measured SBS spectra. The observed Rayleigh surface acoustic and Sezawa waves indicate a soft on hard configuration.
