Do I need a Cement Backer board for Ceramic Tile?


I plan on installing about 400 square feet of ceramic tile in a kitchen. I wanted to know if I need to put down a cement backer board before laying the tile?

If so, how do I determine if I should use 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch?

Finally, what is the preferred method of securing it to the subfloor? Is is it glued somehow or nailed to the floor joists (I suspect nailed, but I've never used it before).

The subfloor is plywood and seems secure. I am not sure how thick the plywood is yet (haven't gone to the basement and looked for any stamps on it).

I've done ceramic tile before, but it has always been a small area with mosaic tile, so I never put much thought into the backer board.

Thanks
