By using a Galerkin approach the existence of weak solutions to this sixth order partial differential equation is established in $L^2(0,T; dot H^3_per)$. Furthermore stronger regularity results have been derived and these are used to prove uniqueness of the solutions. Additionally a numerical study shows that solutions behave similarly as for the better known convective Cahn-Hilliard equation. The transition from coarsening to roughening is analyzed, indicating that the characteristic length scale decreases logarithmically with increasing deposition rate
