Susceptor assemblies comprising a susceptor with a support post are described. The susceptor has a body with a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface has a plurality of recesses therein. The support post is connected to the bottom surface of the susceptor to rotate the susceptor assembly. The support post includes support post vacuum plenum in fluid communication with a susceptor vacuum plenum in the body of the susceptor. The support post also includes a purge gas line extending through the support post to a purge gas plenum in the body of the susceptor.
