TAIPEI, June 19 - Taiwan stocks rose 1.41 percent on Friday to a one-week closing high, as upbeat U.S. economic data lifted tech and financial shares, but Powerchip <5346.TWO> slid as it tried to reach agreement with bondholders.

The main TAIEX share index <.TWII> closed 86.62 points higher at 6,231.15, its highest close since June 12 and bouncing back from the previous session's 1-1/2-month low.

Turnover hit a three-month low of T$83 billion ($2.5 billion) as investors stayed away following a pull-back of about 3 percent this week that has made the TAIEX one of the world's worst performers during this month.

The financial sub-index <.TFNI> jumped 1.7 percent, with Cathay Financial <2882.TW>, the island's top listed financial holding firm, up 1.5 percent.

Smartphone maker HTC <2498.TW> advanced 2.6 percent, after a local newspaper said HTC and Chunghwa Telecom <2412.TW> will offer a smartphone using Google's <GOOG.O> Android operating system for free to some subscribers.

"HTC has to watch out for new competitors," said Alex Huang, a research director at Mega International Securities.

"HTC's performance has been weak through the year, and the situation may be exacerbated as new competitors enter."

Powerchip, Taiwan's largest DRAM maker, slid 7 percent by its daily maximum limit, bucking the semiconductor sub-index's <.TSII> 0.59 percent advance.

Late on Thursday, Powerchip said it would extend the deadline for bondholders to accept its offer to reset the terms of a $158 million convertible bond that matured on Wednesday, as it had yet to secure agreement from a sufficient number. [ID:nTP4341]

Powerchip's smaller rivals Nanya Technology <2408.TW> rose 1.8 percent while ProMOS Technologies <5387.TWO> lost nearly 1 percent.
