         RE:      REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") to be filed by Integrated Process Equipment Corp., a
Delaware corporation (the "Registrant" or "you"), with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on or about July 16, 1998, in connection with the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 850,000 shares of
your Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Shares"), reserved for issuance pursuant
to the 1992 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "Plan"). As your legal counsel in
connection with this transaction, we have reviewed the proceedings taken by you
in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to the Plan.

         It is our opinion that, when issued and sold in the manner described in
the Plan and pursuant to the agreements which accompany each grant under the
Plan, the Shares will be legally and validly issued, fully-paid and
non-assessable.

         We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement, and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the
Registration Statement and any subsequent amendment thereto.


                                            Very truly yours,

                                            WILSON SONSINI GOODRICH & ROSATI
