A method for forming a chip package structure is provided. The method includes partially removing a first redistribution layer to form an alignment trench in the first redistribution layer. The alignment trench surrounds a bonding portion of the first redistribution layer. The method includes forming a liquid layer over the bonding portion. The method includes disposing a chip structure over the liquid layer, wherein a first width of the bonding portion is substantially equal to a second width of the chip structure. The method includes evaporating the liquid layer. The chip structure is in direct contact with the bonding portion after the liquid layer is evaporated.
