               1. A component carrier, comprising: 
            a stack comprising at least one horizontal electrically conductive layer structure and at least one electrically insulating layer structure; 
                a semiconductor component embedded in the stack; 
                at least one vertical via being laterally offset from the semiconductor component; 
                wherein the at least one horizontal electrically conductive layer structure electrically connects the vertical via to a bottom main surface of the semiconductor component; 
                a highly-conductive block embedded in the stack below the semiconductor component and being thermally and/or electrically coupled with the semiconductor component, wherein the horizontal electrically conductive layer structure is arranged between the bottom main surface of the semiconductor component and the highly-conductive block; 
                wherein the component carrier is configured for a current flow from the vertical via to the horizontal electrically conductive layer structure, from the horizontal electrically conductive layer structure to the highly conductive block, and from the highly conductive block to the bottom main surface of the semiconductor component, from the bottom main surface of the semiconductor component to an upper main surface of the semiconductor component, and from the upper surface of the semiconductor component to the outside of the component carrier.
