This paper deals with a fourth order parabolic PDE arising in the theory of epitaxial growth, which was studied in [4]. We estimated the lifespan under the blow-up conditions given in [4]. Moreover, we extend the blow-up conditions of [4] from subcritical initial energy to critical initial energy.

Keywords: Epitaxial growth, forth order parabolic PDE, blow-up, lifespan.
