Package structures and methods for forming the same are provided. A package structure includes a package layer. The package structure also includes an integrated circuit die and a first connector embedded in the package layer. The package structure further includes a redistribution layer over the package layer. The integrated circuit die is electrically connected to the redistribution layer through the first connector. In addition, the package structure includes a passivation layer over the redistribution layer. The package structure also includes a second connector over the passivation layer. A first portion of the redistribution layer and a second portion of the second connector extend into the passivation layer. The second portion of the second connector has a tapered profile along a direction from the integrated circuit die towards the first connector.
