A method is provided for manufacturing a silica glass that is substantially free of chlorine. The method includes the step of separately expelling a silicon tetrafluoride gas, a combustion gas, and a combustible gas from a burner made of silica glass, the flow velocity of the silicon tetrafluoride gas being within the range of about 9 slm/cm2 to about 20 slm/cm2. The method further includes the steps of producing minute silica glass particles by reacting the silicon tetrafluoride gas with water produced by a reaction of the combustion gas with the combustible gas, depositing the minute silica glass particles on a target, and producing the silica glass by fusing and vitrifying the minute silica glass particles deposited on the target.
