The Cahn-Hilliard/Allen-Cahn equation with a noise perturbation is a simplified mean field model of stochastic microscopic dynamics associated with adsorption and desorption-spin flip mechanisms in the context of surface processes. For such an equation we consider a multiplicative space-time white noise with diffusion coefficient of sub-linear growth in dimension 1 up to 3. Using technics from semigroup theory and parabolic operators in the sense of Petrovsk\u{\i\i}, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution, as well as its path regularity. Our results are also valid for the stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation with unbounded noise diffusion, for which previous results were established only in the framework of a bounded diffusion coefficient. The path regularity of the stochastic solution depends on the dimension and on that of the initial condition.
