A light-emitting device comprises a multi-layer structure including one or more active layer configured to irradiate light in response to the application of an electric signal, a transparent passivation layer laid over an outmost surface of the multi-layer stack, a reflector layer laid over the passivation layer, and a plurality of electrode pads coupled with the multi-layer structure. In a manufacture process of the light-emitting device, the reflector layer and the passivation layer are patterned to form at least one opening exposing an area of the multi-layer structure. One electrode pad is formed through the opening of the reflector layer and the passivation layer to connect with the multi-layer structure.
