We present the energy bands and density of states of ZnSnP{sub 2} using full potential linearized augmented plane wave method with modified Becke Johnson potential. It is found that this compound has a direct band gap of about 2.01 eV at Γ point, which originates from the energy difference between P-3p and Sn-5s states. In addition, we have also calculated absorption spectra in the solar energy range and compared it with that of bulk Si to explore the applicability of ZnSnP{sub 2} in photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices.
