A silica glass containing TiO.sub.2, which has a fictive temperature of at
most 1,200.degree. C., a F concentration of at least 100 ppm and a
coefficient of thermal expansion of 0.+-.200 ppb/.degree. C. from 0 to
100.degree. C.A process for producing a silica glass containing
TiO.sub.2, which comprises a step of forming a porous glass body on a
target quartz glass particles obtained by flame hydrolysis of
glass-forming materials, a step of obtaining a fluorine-containing porous
glass body, a step of obtaining a fluorine-containing vitrified glass
body, a step of obtaining a fluorine-containing formed glass body and a
step of carrying out annealing treatment.
